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

- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
