Introducing the Ultimate Morning Delight: Moist Gluten-Free Blueberry Muffins

Are you tired of dry, crumbly gluten-free baked goods that leave you feeling underwhelmed? Look no further! Our recipe for Moist Gluten-Free Blueberry Muffins is a game-changer. With its tender, fluffy texture and burst of juicy blueberries, these muffins are sure to become your new morning obsession.

The Magic Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder (make sure it's gluten-free!)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy, your choice!)
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
• Confectioners' sugar for topping (optional)

Let's Get Muffin-Making:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
2. Whisk Together the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, milk, and vanilla extract.
4. Combine the Magic: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix!
5. Gently Fold in the Blueberries: Stir in the blueberries being careful not to crush them.
6. Spoon the Muffin Mix: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.
7. Bake to Perfection: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Tips and Variations:

• For an extra-moist treat, try adding 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to the dry ingredients.
• Swap out the blueberries for other juicy fruits like raspberries or blackberries.
• Add a sprinkle of sugar on top of each muffin before baking for a crunchy, sweet topping.
• Use gluten-free buttermilk (or regular buttermilk with a splash of vinegar) for an extra-tender crumb.
• Store your muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
