Gluten-Free Blueberry Muffins
Gluten-Free Blueberry Muffins
This one goes out to all my gluten-free friends that are constantly on the quest to find gluten-free baked goods. This recipe uses coconut flour in place of all-purpose flour and sacrifices on nothing but gluten! I like to think that even my gluten-loving friends will love them!
Yield: 6 muffins
Oven: 375ºF
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
1/2 cup coconut flour – See kitchen note
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
6 eggs, lightly whisked to break yolks, room temperature
1/3 cup coconut oil, solidified
1 tablespoon vanilla extract or paste
3/4 cup fresh blueberries, cleaned and dried
crystal sugar
Method:
1. Preheat oven to 375ºF.
2. In a medium size bowl, whisk together coconut flour, salt, and baking soda. Set to the side.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, coconut oil, vanilla extract or paste until smooth being careful to not over-mix.
4. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients in one addition mixing until just combined. By hand, gently fold fresh blueberries into the batter being careful to not “mush” or “crush” the blueberries.
5. Using a cookie scoop, evenly portion muffin batter into pre-greased or paper lined muffin pan. Top with a pinch of finishing sugar and place in preheated 375ºF oven.
6. Bake for 12 – 15 minutes or until the top is light golden in color and an inserted toothpick comes back with only a few crumbs attached.
7. Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before serving.
Kitchen Note: Coconut flour can be found at most major grocery stores or online.
