Glorious Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins w/ Streusel Topping

I wasn’t going to share these gluten-free blueberry muffins w/ streusel topping with you today.

Nope!

If you read my latest Fun Friday post, you know that I had fully intended to spend a little time relaxing this weekend, which to me, includes time AWAY from my computer…

But once I made these gluten free blueberry muffins this morning, I knew it wouldn’t be fair to NOT share them with you.

They are THAT good!

The recipe comes from Gluten-Free Baking Classics by Annalise G. Roberts.  It is one of the first gluten-free cookbooks I ever bought, and still one of my favorites for gluten-free baked goods and desserts.

I’m not sure if it’s the touch of nutmeg, or the streusel topping, but there is something really yummy about these muffins.  I hope you try them and let me know if you like them as much as I did!

Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins w/ Streusel Topping

• 2 cups Brown Rice Flour Mix {See recipe below OR use your favorite gluten-free flour blend}
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 Tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4-1/2 teaspoon nutmeg {to taste}
• 1 1/2 cups unsweetened fresh blueberries {OR you can make 1/2 the batter with chocolate chips which my kids wanted, and 1/2 with fresh blueberries}
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil {I used Spectrum expeller pressed safflower oil which is high in monounsaturated fats}
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• Streusal Topping {See recipe below}

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Position rack in center of oven and spray muffin pan with cooking spray.
2. Mix all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
3. Combine milk and oil in a small bowl.  Beat in eggs and vanilla.  Add liquids to blueberry mixture and stir until just blended.
4. Stir in fresh blueberries, or divide batter in half and add 3/4 cup chocolate chips to half the batter and 3/4 cup blueberries to the other half.
5. Fill muffin tins 2/3 full and sprinkle with Streusel topping.  Bake18-25 minutes until light golden.  Remove muffins from pan and serve immediately or cool on rack.

Food Philosopher TM Brown Rice Flour Mix

• 2 cups Brown rice flour, extra finely ground {Or you can use 1 cup brown rice flour and 1 cup sorghum flour like I did}

Combine all ingredients until well blended.  You can store any remaining flour in the refrigerator, and you can also double or triple the amounts to have extra gluten-free flour on hand.

Streusel Topping

• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and xanthan gum in a small bowl; stir to blend.  Pour in butter and stir until all dry ingredients are moistened.  Break into small pieces with spoon.

Enjoy with fresh mixed berries and a steaming hot cup of coffee or tea!
