Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.75 cup Milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1.5 cups Fresh blueberries
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the tin with oil.
In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Whisk together until well-blended.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and add granulated sugar. Mix until well combined.
To the sugar and egg mixture, add the unsweetened applesauce, olive oil, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Mix thoroughly.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the dry mixture. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your nut-free, gluten-free blueberry muffins warm or at room temperature.
