Common Questions About Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins:

What if my batter starts to turn purple from the berries? No need to worry, just mix them in because the color will make your muffins look even prettier.

What is the best Gluten Free Flour to use for blueberry muffins: I really like to use the Bob’s Mill Bob’s Red Mill gluten free 1-to-1 baking flour. Gluten free flour has come a long way over the years. It used to turn all baked goods to solid bricks, but now I get great results with Bob’s. Always try to avoid xanthum gum as an ingredient because it’s a thickening agent that won’t give that light and airy texture.

Can I make these muffins eggless? Yes! Replace the eggs for Flaxseed. One tablespoon for one egg. For this recipe, omit the two eggs and replace them with two tablespoons of flaxseed.

Tips and Tricks to make these muffins:

Make sure to spray the muffin pan. For this recipe I just sprayed the pan with non stick cooking spray to give them that naked muffin look. You can always uses liners because it can make it a bit easier. I still recommend to spray the top of the muffin pan lightly so they come out easily. Sometimes the muffins will overflow and the edges will stick to the top edges of the pan.
Store these muffins on the counter (that’s if there are any left). Once the muffins are cooled completely, place them on a plate with plastic wrap or in a ziplock bag. They stay soft and fresh for 2 days on the counter.
You can freeze these gluten free blueberry muffins. Place the completely cooled muffins in a freezer bag and they will stay good for up to 2 months. Let them sit on the counter to defrost or thaw them in the microwave on low, be careful to not overeat because they will become hard.
Use a cookie scoop for the batter! I love to use my cookie scoop for almost all muffins and cupcakes because it makes the process so easy and less of a mess. The muffins will come out the same size and will ensure even baking time.
