Horribly bland - don't make these. I tried one and threw the whole batch out and promptly made Paleo's carrot banana muffins, which I have made before. They're full of flavor and delicious.

Great with a mashed banana, 1 tbs oil--to hold together and moisten.. and instead of honey I used Splenda. Held together perfectly and are delicious! Not same fluffy texture as regular blueberry muffins--but still wonderful!

Like the first reviewer, I have never cooked with almond flour, and these were very good. I did not drain the water and the frozen blueberries after cooking and cooling and the finished texture was quite nice and they held together well. They were done in 25 minutes. Why doesn't the nutritional data include the almond flour, though?

This was my first experience using almond flour. I was slightly confused about the blueberries, i didn't know if i was suppose to drain them after the cooking on the stove or what. SO i drained them ~almost~ all the way, looking back probably should have drained the berries completely (used frozen btw). I had to cook them almost 35 minutes and they still wanted to fall apart. They were pretty yummy anyway!
