10 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups Krusteaz® Gluten Free All-Purpose Flour
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup plain yogurt
- 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 3 tablespoons raw sugar for topping
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each muffin cup to prevent sticking.
Prepare the Batter
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and granulated sugar. Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat the mixture until it becomes light and fluffy. Add the egg and continue mixing until fully incorporated.
Add Dry Ingredients
- Gradually add the Krusteaz Gluten Free All-Purpose Flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the bowl. Stir gently to combine.
Incorporate the Wet Ingredients
- Pour in the yogurt and add the finely grated lemon zest. Mix until all ingredients are fully combined. The batter will be thick.
Fold in the Blueberries
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter without crushing them.
Fill the Muffin Cups
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ⅔ full. Sprinkle the tops with raw sugar for a subtle crunch once baked.
Bake the Muffins
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-26 minutes, or until the muffins are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
This recipe is already gluten-free when using Krusteaz Gluten Free All-Purpose Flour. If substituting another gluten-free flour blend, ensure it contains xanthan gum or a similar binder to maintain the structure and texture of the muffins. Additionally, check that all other ingredients, such as baking powder and yogurt, are labeled gluten-free to avoid cross-contamination.
