Required Ingredients:
This recipe uses — QUeen Milling All Purpose Gluten Free Flour (Fine)
Baking Powder —A small amount of baking powder helps the Gluten Free Blueberry Muffin rise slightly. This gives the Gluten Free Blueberry Muffin a light texture. Ensure the baking powder is evenly distributed in the dry ingredients to avoid uneven rising.
Baking Soda - a small amount of baking soda reacts with other ingredients gives a good rise to the QUeen Milling fine flour and creates the light silky texture that make QUeen Milling flours famous in the gluten free world.
Blueberries - We used fresh blueberries in this Gluten Free Blueberry Muffin recipe but frozen blueberries will also work.
Brown Sugar — Brown sugar is the best option for this Gluten Free Gluten Free Blueberry Muffin recipe. It gives the Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins a lightly sweet flavour and a nice caramelization on the top of the muffin.
Butter — For this Gluten Free Blueberry Muffin recipe, we use unsalted butter. If you only have salted butter, eliminate the added salt in the recipe. Be sure to melt the butter completely before mixing it with the other ingredients to ensure a smooth and uniform Gluten Free Blueberry Muffin batter.
Eggs — Eggs play a crucial role in giving the Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins their structure and moist texture. Make sure your eggs are at room temperature before incorporating them into the Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins to achieve a smooth and well-mixed consistency.
Lemon Juice - Fresh lemon juice is what we used in this Gluten Free Blueberry Muffin recipe. Concentrated lemon juice is also a great substitute.
Salt — A pinch of salt enhances the flavor in the Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins. If you're using salted butter you may eliminate the added salt.
Sugar - Granulated sugar is the best option for this Gluten Free Blueberry Muffin recipe. It gives the Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins a classic sweetness that everyone loves.
Vegetable Oil or Olive Oil — For this Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins, we used extra virgin olive oil for the smooth, rich flavor and healthful benefits. Vegetable oil can also be used.
