Ingredients

• 2.5 cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan Gum
• 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter
• 1 cup Granulated Sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 1.5 cups Fresh Blueberries
• 1 tablespoon Lemon Zest

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a large bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Alternately add the flour mixture and milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour. Mix until just combined.

Step 6

Gently fold in the fresh blueberries and lemon zest using a spatula, being careful not to overmix as the blueberries may break.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a bun comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the blueberry buns to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
