Ingredients

  • 2½ cups gluten-free 1:1 all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum)

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¾ cup sugar

  • ½ cup oil or melted butter (dairy-free works)

  • 2 large eggs, room temperature

  • ¾ cup milk or dairy-free milk

  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

  • 1½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw)

  • Optional: coarse sugar for topping

Directions

  • Preheat Oven
  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a jumbo muffin pan (6-count) with liners.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients
  • In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  • Mix Wet Ingredients
  • In a separate bowl, whisk oil, eggs, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Combine
  • Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix just until combined.
  • Gently fold in blueberries.
  • Fill Muffin Pan
  • Divide batter evenly between muffin cups, filling nearly to the top. Sprinkle with coarse sugar if using.
  • Bake (Bakery Trick!)
  • Bake at 425°F for 7 minutes, then without opening the oven, reduce temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 18–22 minutes, until tops are set and a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cool
  • Let muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
