Equipment

  • Muffin Tin
  • Mixing Bowl
  • measuring cup
  • mixer
  • spatula
  • ice cream scoop

Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup milk For dairy-free use unsweetened almond milk.
  • 2 teaspoons white vinegar or lemon juice
  • cup butter softened. For dairy-free use Smart Balance.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs For egg-free use Bob's Red Mill gluten-free egg replacer.
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon pure almond extract
  • 1 ¾ cups gluten-free flour all-purpose flour with xanthan gum. I like Pillsbury gluten-free flour.
  • 2 teaspoons gluten-free baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons gluten-free flour all-purpose flour with xanthan gum.
  • 2 cups blueberries Fresh or frozen blueberries. If using frozen, do not defrost the frozen blueberries.
  • 2 tablespoons turbinado or raw sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners or spray with gluten-free cooking spray.
  • To make the homemade buttermilk, in a large measuring cup, add the white vinegar (or lemon juice) to the milk and stir to combine. Let stand for 5 minutes in the refrigerator to stay cold.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together with a mixer until fluffy.
  • Add in the eggs, pure vanilla extract, and pure almond extract and mix until combined and smooth.
  • Add in the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and mix together until fully combined and smooth.
  • Pour in the homemade buttermilk (milk and vinegar mixture) into the batter and mix until smooth. The batter will be thick. Do not over mix.
  • Sprinkle the 2 teaspoons of the gluten-free flour over the blueberries in a medium-sized bowl. Carefully stir the blueberries to coat them with the gluten-free flour.
  • Gently fold the floured blueberries into the muffin batter.
  • Using a greased ice cream scoop or measuring cup, scoop the batter into baking cups lined/cooking sprayed muffin tin.
  • Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with the turbinado sugar (raw sugar).
  • Bake on the middle rack for 25-30 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the muffins to cool in the muffin pan for 3-5 minutes then move to a cooling rack. Enjoy!
  • Store the completely cooled muffins in an airtight container.
