A light and sweet sponge, studded with juicy berries and finished with a crisp sugar topping. This recipe makes the ultimate gluten-free blueberry muffins! Not only are they incredibly quick and easy to make, they’re perfectly tender and packed with a generous amount of fruit to ensure that every fluffy mouthful contains plenty of blueberry goodness.

These blueberry muffins are gluten-free and dairy-free, as well as being low FODMAP at a serving size of one muffin.

Which gluten-free flour is best for baking blueberry muffins?

To achieve a light and soft texture, a gluten-free plain flour blend will work best. These generally include a mixture of rice, potato and tapioca flours. I use this one by Doves Farm which always gives great results. Flour made from a single source (such as oat or coconut flour) will drastically change the texture of your bakes and could make the sponge overly dry or gummy.

Do I have to use frozen blueberries?

Not at all! You can absolutely use fresh blueberries in this recipe. Frozen berries will however hold their shape a little better whilst baking.

Top tip for a light and fluffy sponge

Be careful not to overmix the batter. When combining the wet and dry ingredients, you want to fold everything together gently until just mixed. This will help to keep some air in the mixture for optimum fluffyness!

Storing and freezing your gluten-free blueberry muffins

The muffins will keep well in an airtight container for up to 4 days (if they last that long!). You can also freeze them for up to 3 months.

I hope you love this simple and delicious GF bake! If you do give the muffins a go, let me know how you got on in the comments below, or by tagging us in a photo of your creations on Instagram @Blueskyeating. Enjoy! 🙂
