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. I find gluten-free muffins to last about 4 days in an airtight container, assuming they aren't devoured sooner.

Gluten-Free Muffins

I don't know who decided to put blueberries into a gluten-free muffin recipe, but they are my hero.

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.

Tips for making Gluten-Free Blueberry Muffins

• When working with or measuring gluten-free flour, spoon the flour into the measuring cup and level. Do not scoop your measuring cup into the gluten-free flour. The best method really is to weigh the gluten-free flour but I don't have the ingredient weights for all my recipes yet.
• You can use fresh or frozen blueberries in this gluten-free blueberry muffin recipe.
• You can use your oil of choice in this recipe, or butter.
• Unless a substitution is listed, follow the recipe and use the ingredients called for.
• Always start with the lowest cooking time recommended and watch for doneness from there.
