Gluten-Free Blueberry Muffins

Did you know that you can bake gluten-free blueberry muffins with fresh or frozen blueberries? I prefer to freeze fresh blueberries because I feel like frozen blueberries hold shape better when baking when they’re frozen.

Every year we pick loads of blueberries from our backyard. I planted six plants a few years back, and every year since we’ve gotten enough blueberries that we haven’t purchased any from the stores.

We pick an average of two cups a day during the summer. For a family of four, that’s more than plenty. We enjoy half fresh, then freeze the rest for smoothies and baking treats – like Gluten-Fee Blueberry Muffins.

Can I freeze gluten-free blueberry muffins?

Yes, you can freeze gluten-free blueberry muffins. Make sure to wait until they come to room temperature before you place them in an airtight container in the freezer.

Gluten-free Blueberry Muffins have been a breakfast choice for us for years. I don’t know who decided to put blueberries into a muffin, but they are my hero. I love biting into a tender gluten-free muffin that is lightly sweetened and bursting with blueberries.

Add in some lemon zest, for a citrus twist, and you have the perfect gluten-free blueberry muffin. If you are looking for a grain-free blueberry muffin I have Paleo Blueberry Muffin recipe you might like.

Yes, you don’t have to make these gluten-free blueberry muffins dairy-free. You can use dairy milk, and dairy butter.

How do I make gluten-free blueberry muffins egg-free?

I haven’t tried a egg replacer in this recipe, but you might like Beaming Bakers Gluten-Free Vegan Blueberry Applesauce Muffins.

What other flour blends can I use to make gluten-free blueberry muffins?

I like to you my own gluten-free flour blend recipe, but you can also use Ryze gluten-free flour, or Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 gluten-free flour blend.

Like I mentioned above, you can use fresh blueberries in this gluten-free blueberry muffin recipe, but I recommend freezing your blueberries first. It helps to keep them from exploding in the muffin (unless you want them to explode, which is fine, just messy).
