How to Make GF Blueberry Muffins (Step by Step)
Step 1: Whisk Dry, Mix Wet
Keep dry and wet ingredients separate until ready to combine. This prevents overmixing.
Step 2: Fold Gently
Pour wet into dry and fold with a spatula. Stop when there are still small flour pockets visible. These disappear in the oven. Overmixing = tough muffins.
Step 3: Fold in Berries
Gently fold in most of the blueberries. Reserve some to press on top after scooping into the tin โ this guarantees visible berries on the surface.
Step 4: Fill Cups 3/4 Full
Use a cookie scoop or ice cream scoop for even portions. Muffins need room to dome.
Step 5: Bake at 375ยฐF
The higher temperature creates the initial burst of steam that makes muffins dome.

The Frozen Berry Trick
Even if using fresh berries, toss them in 1 tsp of GF flour before adding. This prevents them from sinking to the bottom during baking.
Fill to 3/4
Overfilling creates flat, mushroom-shaped muffins. Underfilling creates short, sad ones. 3/4 full is the sweet spot.
Use a Scoop
A medium cookie scoop ensures every muffin is the same size and bakes evenly.
