Let’s Make Gluten Free Blueberry Oat Muffins

My gluten-free blueberry muffins are full of protein and wholesome ingredients. These muffins are made with a great blend of pure certified gluten free oat flour. They are such a wonderful breakfast treat!

These muffins are a lower calorie muffin as well! You could make them even lower calorie if you cut down the sugar or use a sugar substitute.

So Let’s Make Gluten Free Blueberry Oat Muffins.

Bob’s Red Mill gluten-free oat flour works very well in breads, and muffins recipes. I use unsweetened applesauce in many of my recipe’s instead of oil or butter. You can’t even tell the difference and it’s less calories and a healthier ingredient.

Brown eggs I find have a richer texture and work very well in muffins. I also find organic caged free brown eggs are easier on my G.I. track. Oat’s, Brown sugar, gluten-free vanilla, gluten free baking powder, baking soda, salt, and blueberries are all the ingredients that I used in this recipe .

This gluten free recipe is so versital you could use apples, pumpkin, or another type of berry in this recipe.

I reserve a little brown sugar about 1/4 cup to sprinkle on the top of each blueberry oat muffin, because this is where the sweetness tastes best! Granulated sugar works as well!

Ingredients:

Ingredients needed for Gluten Free Blueberry Oat Muffins

2 cups of Gluten-Free Oat Flour

1/4 cup Gluten Free Oats

2 large organic cage free brown eggs

1 cup of unsweetened apple sauce

1 Tablespoon gluten-free pure vanilla

1/2 cup brown sugar

( graduated sugar or a sugar substitute that bakes like sugar totaling 1/2 cup as well can be used, save a little aside to sprinkle on the top of each muffin )

1 1/2 teaspoon of gluten free baking powder

1/2 teaspoon of gluten free baking soda

1/4 teaspoon of salt

1 cup of fresh blueberries washed and rinsed ( or any berry of your choice, make sure they’re washed and drained well. If using frozen berries make sure they are thawed and well drained.

How To Make Gluten Free Blueberry Oat Muffins

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Spray a 12 count muffin pan with cooking spray or a 6 count muffin pan

In a bowl mix together all dry ingredients, add in your wet ingredients.

I beat my eggs a little before adding them to the mix, fold in rinsed and drained blueberries after all ingredients are mix together. ( If you use frozen blueberries or any frozen berries make sure they are well thawed and drained before adding them to the batter.

Scoop batter evenly into the 12 count muffin pan or the 6 count muffin pan, I use a 1/4 cup to measure for each 12 count and 1/2 cup for each 6 count.

Bake for 18-20 minutes for the 12 count or 20 -22 minutes for the 6 count muffins, or until your tester comes out clean. I use a dark baking muffin pan it does bake quicker than a glass or lighter muffin pan. Stone baking pans should bake the same.

Tips for Making Gluten Free Blueberry Oat Muffin

A few tips for making gluten free muffins

• Mix the gluten free flour, gluten free baking powder, baking soda and salt together with a whisk.
• Beat the eggs together in a small bowl before adding them to the flour mixture.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir well, I add my sugar in last, so no lumps.
• Fold blueberries in after all is mixed and be gentle so as not to break apart the blueberries.
• Don’t over mix the gluten free blueberry mixture or the batter will not rise.
• Let the gluten free muffin mixture set for 2 minutes before scooping into the muffin pan.
• Each oven bakes differently as does convention baking.
• Gluten Free Muffins can be stored in the refrigerator in an air tight container for up to 1 week or 3 months in the freezer.
• If you don’t’ have or cant find certified gluten free flour you can make it from certified gluten free oats. Use a food processor, blender or a smoothie maker. Pulse on high until oats are a flour consistence. Use the amount called for in the recipe but make sure to measure after pulsing.
