Ingredients for Gluten- Free Blueberry Muffins

• 2 1/2 cups or 230g of Gluten-Free Flour – This ingredient makes the base of your dry ingredients. There are many options available and you can use your favorite; however, if you’re unsure what type of gluten-free flour is best, try baking with rice flour or a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Both choices are available in the baking aisle and both produce great textured muffins. 
• 1/4 teaspoon of Salt – A hint of salt adds balance to sweet baked goods like their delicious muffins. For this recipe choose a fine-grain kosher or sea salt. 
• 1 teaspoon of Baking Powder – This ingredient is a leavener that will help give your muffins a lovely rise!
• 1 teaspoon of Baking Soda – Baking soda works with the baking powder to help leaven these tasty muffins.
• 1 cup of whole Milk – In this muffin recipe, milk helps thin out the batter and adds creamy, richness to the final flavor. Whole milk is a great choice, with or without lactose.
• 3/4 cup of Sugar – Sugar adds the perfect sweetness to the muffin batter. Granulated white sugar is perfect for this bake!
• 1 tablespoon of Vanilla Extract – A touch of vanilla flavor makes these berry-filled muffins pop! Use a pure vanilla extract when possible. 
• 1/2 cup of Butter – Delicious butter adds the rich and creamy fat needy to bring this recipe together. Melter butter is best for this bake. 
• 1/4 cup of Whole Milk Yogurt – A little tangy yogurt brings some much-needed acid to these irresistible muffins. Use plain yogurt, not flavored. 
• 2 Eggs – Eggs act as a binder and also help give the muffins an even more delicious rise. For this recipe, bring the eggs to room temperature before using them. 
• 1/4 cup of Lemon Juice – This bright citrus balances the dark blueberry flavor perfectly. Use freshly squeezed or bottled for this recipe, but it is best to use fresh it’s like a perfect marriage with Blueberries.
• 1 Lemon Zest – The zest of the lemon has a bold citrus flavor that makes this recipe sing!

Ingredients for the Optional Streusel Topping

• 1/4 cup of Gluten-Free Flour – For this sweet topping choose an all-purpose gluten-free flour.
• 1/4 cup of Sugar – Sugar is the key to this crunchy and sweet topping. The sugar caramelizes when baked and becomes decadent and crunchy!
• 2 tablespoons of Butter – Melted butter helps hold the streusel topping together. 

Let’s make the Blueberry muffins now… I can’t wait to try a popping hot one from the oven 🙂

• Preheat your oven at 375°F.
• Grease or line up a muffin tin with muffin liners.
• In a bowl add all the dry ingredients and whisk together gently.
• In a Separate bowl, add the room temperature eggs, and whisk for just few minutes, then add all the other wet ingredients. Whisk gently, no need to over mix.
• Put a few pinches of the dry mix into a small bowl and gently toss the blueberries in this flour mixture, this will prevent the blueberries from sinking to the bottom of the muffins. 
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet and gently whisk to combine.
• Carefully fold in the blueberries.
• Use a large scoop to fill the prepared muffin tin with batter.
• Top with extra blueberries and optional streusel topping, which will give the muffins a nice finish.
• Bake for 20 minutes or until fully puffed up and golden brown, you will notice especially after the toothpick comes out dry.

Some Tips and Tricks

• Don’t skip tossing the berries in the flour mixture, this prevents them from sinking in the bottom of the muffins.
• Use an ice cream scoop or larger Disher to fill the muffin tin so every portion comes out even.
• Check these muffins using the toothpick test, if the toothpick comes out dry the muffins are done.
• You can substitute sour cream for yogurt.
• Eggs, milk, and yogurt should be room temperature which help the muffins to bake beautifully and evenly.
• You can substitute milk for any nondairy milk of your choice or even use water, but I am not sure if the result will be the same taste and texture.

How to Serve These Gluten-Free Blueberry Muffins

Enjoy these muffins while they’re warm with a little spread of butter, apple sauce, or simply some apples, or try them after they’ve cooled for a great on-the-go snack. They are the perfect mate for orange juice, coffee, oat milk Matcha latte or even a mimosa!

Any way you slice them, these awesome Gluten-Free Blueberry Muffins are loaded with berries and great for any occasion!

Can You Store Gluten-Free Blueberry Muffins?

To store these tasty muffins, allow them to cool then move them to an airtight container. These muffins can be kept on the counter for up to 4 days, up to one week in the refrigerator and up to three months in freezer, if you can resist them for that long like me 🙂

Reheat them in the microwave or toaster oven, or simply enjoy them at room temperature, it is your choice, but I definitely enjoy them even after 10 days in the refrigerator warmed up in a toaster oven.
