Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 12-hole muffin tray with paper case liners. Grease with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk all the wet ingredients: yogurt, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, oil, almond extract, and lemon juice. Stir until the batter is smooth.
Using a silicone spatula, stir in the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
Fold in blueberries, fresh or frozen, and stir to incorporate them evenly.
Fill the prepared muffin pan evenly with the muffin batter and sprinkle sliced almonds on top.
Bake the muffins at 350°F (180°C) for 25 to 28 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffin comes out clean.
Note 1: White spelt flour or white wholewheat work well in the same amount. I didn't try all-purpose gluten-free flour for this recipe.Note 2: Almond meal would work, but the muffin will come out dryer and a bit gritty.Note 3: Any oil with a low flavor works well, like canola oil, melted coconut oil, or avocado oil. For an oil-free option, try mashed banana or applesauce.Note 4: You can also use soy milk, oat milk, or any unsweetened plant-based milk you love.Note 5: You don't need to thaw frozen blueberries. My tip is to place the frozen berries in a sieve and run cold tap water over them to remove the blue hue and prevent the muffin batter from turning blue/purple.Store: The muffins can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days in a sealed box or frozen for up to 1 month in zip-lock bags.
