Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Buttermilk
- 1.5 cups Fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon Gluten-free flour (for tossing blueberries)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the granulated sugar and melted butter together until well combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
Gently fold in the dry ingredients and the buttermilk alternately, starting and ending with the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not over mix.
In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of gluten-free flour. Gently fold the blueberries into the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy the muffins warm or at room temperature.
