- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup coconut oil or ghee, melted
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or keto syrup

Instructions
Make the Muffin Batter
- Preheat oven to 350℉
- In a medium size bowl, add almond flour, protein powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well using a whisk or a fork.
- In a separate bowl, mix together eggs, melted oil or ghee, syrup, vanilla, and lemon zest. Mix well.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix well once again.
- Fold the blueberries into the batter and spoon the batter into muffin papers, or silicone muffin liners.
- Bake in 350℉ degree oven for 20-25 minutes until light golden brown.
Make the Lemon Glaze
- While the muffins are baking, make the lemon glaze by mixing powdered sugar and lemon juice together in a small bowl.
- When the muffins are cool, drizzle them with glaze, allow the glaze to dry, and enjoy!
- These muffins will keep in an airtight container for 2-3 days, if they last that long!
