Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.75 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Fresh blueberries
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and ground cinnamon until they are well combined.
In a separate smaller bowl, mix together the unsweetened applesauce, unsweetened almond milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until they are just combined. Make sure not to overmix to keep the muffins tender.
Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries and lemon zest into the batter, ensuring even distribution.
Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy these deliciously fluffy and moist blueberry muffins.
