Gluten Free Lemon Blueberry Muffins

Sunday, June 23, 2013 9:48

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

We’ve been on a gluten-free culinary adventure ever since we found out that my eldest daughter has a gluten allergy. One of her favorite baked treats is blueberry muffins, but I’ve been daunted at the prospect of coming up with a GF recipe from scratch. Last week we enjoyed an incredible GF blueberry muffin at Acre in Santa Rosa. It was so delicious that I felt inspired to give my own recipe a go at last.

I’ve been wanting to give the Gluten Free baking mix at Trader Joe’s a try, so I picked up a bag and a handful of other ingredients and came up with this recipe that the whole family loved. These muffins are easy to make and are moist, but with a delicate texture. For fun, I sprinkled on a little bit of Swedish Pearl Sugar, but you can use any kind of sugar you like. I hope you’ll enjoy…

Gluten Free Lemon Blueberry Muffins

(can be made dairy free as well)

2 cups gluten free flour (I used Trader Joe’s brand)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
Zest of 1 lemon
2 large eggs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup coconut sugar (regular sugar is fine, or use your favorite 1/1 sugar substitute)
1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil
1/2 cup milk (or milk substitute)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup applesauce
1 1/4 cups frozen wild blueberries (I used Trader Joe’s)
2 Tablespoons melted butter (or butter substitute)
1 Tablespoon sugar (I like to use a large grain sugar for crunch)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

Line a muffin tin with baking cups

Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and lemon zest. Set aside.

Step 2: In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, sugars, oil, milk and vanilla. Stir in applesauce.

Step 3: With a large fork, gently stir the frozen blueberries into the dry ingredients. Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredient bowl. Gently fold the ingredients together with a rubber spatula to combine. Scoop batter evenly into the prepared muffin pan.

Step 4: Bake for 20 minutes. Brush muffin tops with the melted butter, then immediately sprinkle with sugar. Bake an additional 2 minutes. Remove from oven, cool, and enjoy!
