Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 2.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cups Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 large Eggs
- 1.5 cups Fresh or frozen blueberries
- 2 tablespoons Optional: coarse sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum (if your flour blend doesn’t already include it), baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the texture.
Gently fold in the blueberries, being cautious not to mash them to avoid discoloring the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. If desired, sprinkle the tops lightly with coarse sugar for added crunch and sweetness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
