Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 2 Eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk (or any preferred non-dairy milk)
• 1.5 cups Fresh blueberries
• 1 tablespoon Gluten-free oat flour (for coating blueberries)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, and unsweetened applesauce. Whisk until fully blended.

Step 4

Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the wet mixture and whisk again until smooth.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three additions, alternating with the almond milk. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

In a small bowl, toss the fresh blueberries with the gluten-free oat flour. This will help prevent the blueberries from sinking to the bottom of the muffins during baking.

Step 7

Gently fold the coated blueberries into the batter using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 8

Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Enjoy the muffins warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
