Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with 8 paper muffin cups or grease with a small amount of coconut oil.
In a small bowl, stir together ground flaxseed and water to create a flax 'egg'. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it thickens.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together to remove any lumps.
In another bowl, whisk together almond milk and apple cider vinegar, allowing it to curdle slightly for about 2 minutes. This creates a vegan buttermilk substitute.
To the vegan buttermilk mixture, add the melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, granulated erythritol or monk fruit sweetener, and the prepared flax egg. Mix well until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. The batter will be thick; avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them if they are fresh.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your low-carb vegan blueberry muffins! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
