The Best Recipe for Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins

These glorious muffins are chock full of blueberries and are a favorite of my kids. I make them often in the summer after we visit the blueberry farm and pick loads of fresh berries, but in winter, I like to use the tiny frozen wild blueberries that are readily available at most markets.

Equipment

Ingredients

2 cups all purpose gluten-free flour blend (I prefer Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1)
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon xanthan gum (omit if your flour blend contains xanthan or other gums)
2 extra large eggs (room temperature)
½ cup whole milk
½ cup butter (1 stick - melted, and slightly cooled)
2 teaspoons pure (gluten free vanilla extract)
1 1/4 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen, divided)
2 tbsp raw sugar (for sprinkling on the top of each muffin)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Spray the cups of a 12 cup muffin tin with gluten free cooking spray or line with paper liners.
Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and xanthan gum together in a large bowl. Add the eggs, milk, butter and vanilla and whisk until smooth. Fold in 1 cup of the blueberries.
Fill each muffin cup slightly more than half way. Sprinkle each with ½-1 teaspoon of the turbinado sugar and remaining blueberries. Bake about 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the muffin comes out clean. If you've used frozen berries the muffins may need to cook a bit longer.

Notes

The trick to getting your muffins to rise higher is twofold; a relatively hot oven (I like 400 degrees F), and using jumbo style liners in a regular muffin tin (or using beautiful tulip liners). The taller the paper, the higher the muffin can climb! Also remember, if you are using frozen blueberries your muffins may need to bake for a few minutes longer.
