Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
  • Make the streusel: in a medium bowl combine 1/4 cup gluten-free flour, 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Add the 2 tablespoons cold butter and use a pastry cutter (or two forks/fingers) to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture is crumbly and coarse. Set the streusel aside in the refrigerator while you make the batter.
  • In a large bowl sift together or whisk 2 cups gluten-free flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix until evenly combined.
  • In a medium bowl whisk 2 eggs until smooth. Add 1/2 cup melted butter, 1/2 cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and whisk until combined.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. The batter should be lumpy—do not overmix.
  • Fold in the 2 cups blueberries gently, trying not to crush them.
  • Divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  • Sprinkle the reserved streusel evenly over the tops of the muffins, about 1 tablespoon of streusel per muffin.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the muffin centers bounce back when lightly pressed (or a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs), about 18 to 22 minutes.
  • Cool the muffins in the pan on a wire rack for several minutes, then remove them from the pan and cool completely on the rack. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Notes

Gluten-free flour:Use your favorite 1:1 GF flour blend. My favorite isKing Arthur’s 1:1 GF flour blend.
Blueberries:Stock up on 1 pint of fresh blueberries, then wash, drain, and pick them over. That means remove any straggler stems, toss any wrinkly or damaged berries, and cut down any large berries. You can also use thawed frozen blueberries, wild or regular.
Yield:My Gluten Free Muffin recipe creates 12 regular-sized muffins.
Storage:Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 4 days.
