In place of all-purpose flour, nutty almond and coconut flours make these muffins fluffy while slashing carbs.
A bit of brown sugar blunts the tartness of fresh blueberries.
Make these ahead for a grab-and-go breakfast for the week.

Spread them with light or fat-free cream cheese or low-sugar preserves.
Eggs and cheese help pack it with protein, while fresh dill boosts its flavor.
Here, it also lends a slight tanginess to the winning combination of bananas and blueberries.
