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.

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

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).

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.

These were wonderful! We used orange zest, because that is what we had on hand. My daughter thought she didn't like blueberry muffins, she has asked me to make them for breakfast again tomorrow.
