These blueberry muffins have been a family favourite long before I started adding gluten free flour to the original recipe tucked in my great Auntie Clara’s glorious wall of cookbooks. 

A side note to my future husband that l will need a built-in bookcase alongside my kitchen counter, just like the one my great uncle built. Please!

Favourite Takeaways:

1. Few ingredients required
2. Easily converts to gluten free
3. Can effortlessly be made without a stand mixer, if needed

Above all this is a classic and quintessential blueberry muffin recipe. According to my dear great aunt, despite all of the muffin recipes archived on her bookshelves, she has been using this one for years.

As such, I have made an effort to keep my gluten free version very true to the simple blueberry muffins of my childhood.

alteration notes:

• Added 1 more egg
• Used AP gluten-free flour

approximate times:

• Prep: 15 minutes
• Bake: 18-20 minutes

directions

w e t

• 2 eggs, well beaten
• 1/3 cup canola oil
• 3/4 cup milk (of choice)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

d r y

• 1 + 3/4 cups GF all purpose flour
• 2 + 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/3 cup sugar

a d d

• 3/4 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)

directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 F.
2. Prep a muffin tin with cupcake liners or parchment paper
3. In a medium bowl add beaten eggs, oil, milk, vanilla –  whisk until thoroughly combined
4. Set aside the wet mixture
5. In a large bowl add flour, baking powder, sugar – whisk until thoroughly combined
6. Transfer the wet mixture to the dry mixture – lightly stir until just nearly combined (you should still be some flour)
7. Gently fold in blueberries
8. Divide batter evenly amongst muffin tins
9. Bake for 18-20 mins or until a toothpick (insert in the centre) comes out clean – should be a light-golden brown
10. Cool slightly (1-2 mins) before transferring onto a cooling rack

further insights:

• serves 11 medium/large or 12 small/medium (GF flour tends to yield less)
• chose a Gluten Free flour with Xanthan Gum
• combined the wet to dry mixture using wooden spoon
• folded in blueberries with a spatula
• used a large cookie scoop to divide the batter
• can be made ahead and stored in airtight container – about 1 day prior
• freezes well in airtight container
