Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 units Egg whites
- 0.5 cups Low-fat milk or almond milk
- 1 cup Fresh blueberries
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a standard muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar.
In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients: applesauce, vanilla extract, egg whites, and milk. Stir well until fully combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold the blueberries and lemon zest into the batter with a spatula, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
