Tender, moist muffins bursting with fresh blueberries and brightened by zesty lemon, made entirely with gluten-free flour blend. These bakery-style muffins have a golden, slightly domed top and are perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
- 2 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
- 1.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs, large
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup whole milk
- 2 lemon zest, zested
- 2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
- 1 tablespoon coarse sugar
Steps
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper muffin liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Zest the lemons and squeeze them to get 2 tablespoons of juice. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, about 30 seconds per egg.
- Mix in Greek yogurt, whole milk, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until just combined.
- Add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients and fold together gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; some small lumps are okay.
- Toss the fresh blueberries in 1 tablespoon of gluten-free flour blend in a small bowl to coat lightly. This prevents them from sinking.
- Gently fold the coated blueberries into the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 12 lined muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Sprinkle the tops of each muffin with a pinch of coarse sugar.
- Bake for 20 to 22 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out with just a few moist crumbs. The tops should be golden brown.
- Remove from oven and allow muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
