Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups 375 grams gluten free flour blend
  • 1 ½ teaspoon guar or xanthan gum omit if in flour blend
  • ¾ cup 150 grams granulated white sugar
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 Tbs lemon zest
  • 1 large egg lightly beaten
  • 1 ½ cup buttermilk
  • cup canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • ¼ cup raw sugar optional for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare muffin tin with 12 cupcake liners. If you're not using cupcake liners, lightly spray with cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, combine gluten free flour blend, guar gum, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and lemon zest.
  • In a large measuring cup or bowl, combine beaten egg, buttermilk, oil and extract.
  • Pour the liquid buttermilk mixture into the flour and stir until just combined. The batter should be dense but smooth.
  • Gently fold in blueberries until just combined. Transfer batter between 12 standard muffin cups. Each one should fill almost to the top. Sprinkle the top with raw sugar if desired.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown on the top.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before removing from pan.
