The Best Gluten-Free Blueberry Muffins

All-Purpose GF Muffin Recipe

I love the fresh berries, especially blueberries! And I don’t think there is anything better than a blueberry muffin filled with fresh ripe blueberries.

There are many recipes out there for delicious blueberry muffins but my challenge is to not only make them gluten-free but casein-free as well.  

And then I came across a perfect recipe for all types of gluten-free desserts!  

I use a bean based gluten-free flour from Bob’s Red Mill, which is healthier than most all-purpose flours.  It has a little more calcium than other white flour blends and fiber.  

Plus it doesn’t contain xanthan gum, which is disruptive to gut bacteria.

This is a quick and easy recipe, too.  I didn’t even use the stand mixer. I just put all the ingredients in a large bowl and mixed with a fork until combined.  Done and done!

I can’t seem to control myself from having more than one of these muffins – I would probably eat them all but we do make these for the hubby’s breakfast so I have to leave a few for him. 

And I used the batter to make a few upside down cakes, too!  Holy smokes.  Just double the batter recipe and use fruit like pineapple, plums, cherries or strawberries with brown sugar.  Pure decadence.

Ingredients

• 2 cups GF all-purpose baking flour (no xanthan gum)
• 2 tsp guar gum
• 2 tsp aluminum-free baking powder
• 3/4 tsp pink Himalayan salt
• 1/2 cup ghee (or coconut oil), melted but not hot
• 1 cup raw cane sugar, plus more for sprinkling
• 2 extra large eggs
• 1 tbsp homemade pure vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup filtered water
• 2 cups fresh blueberries

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
2. In a large mixing bowl, mix together the dry ingredients: baking flour, baking powder, guar gum and salt. Add the ghee (or coconut oil), sugar, eggs, vanilla and water. Use a fork or mixer to combine all the ingredients so that they are well-combined. Fold in the blueberries then use an ice cream scoop to scoop the batter into each muffin cup. Sprinkle with more raw sugar.
3. Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean. Let cool on a cooling rack before indulging (the blueberries can retain some heat). Enjoy!
