    These Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins are so soft yet they still manage to have a lovely blueberry flavor! They’re not overly sweet like a cupcake, they’re the perfect breakfast or snack when you’re looking for something light. Best part is they’re also eggless, nut free and easily dairy free (vegan)!

    These mini blueberry muffins are so airy yet super addicting! Luckily they’re so small, so don’t worry about eating more than one! 

    Want bigger muffins? This recipe can also make 6 regular size muffins. Either way, these are blueberry muffins to die for! Ok clearly not literally but they’re really really good!

    If you’re looking for more muffin recipes, try Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Muffins, Red Velvet Muffins and Jumbo Chocolate Chocolate-Chip Muffins.

    Reasons To Love These Muffins

    • Allergy Friendly- These muffins are gluten free, nut free, egg free and can easily be dairy free (vegan).
    • Moist- These mini muffins are so soft and stay that way for days!
    • Blueberries- They are filled with fresh blueberries!

    Ingredient Notes

    • Gluten Free Flour- If you also have nut allergies, make sure to use a brand that’s made in a nut free facility. I really love to use this one because it’s nut safe but it does contain dairy.
    • Cornstarch and Water- These are eggless muffins so this mixture helps bind everything together.
    • Milk- You can use whatever milk you desire. For vegan, use a non dairy milk.
    • Blueberries- Use ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons of fresh, picked over and washed blueberries.

     Here are the steps to make these muffins!

    Step 1: Whisk Together the Dry Ingredients

    Whisking together the dry ingredients.

    Step 2: Make the Cornstarch Water 

    In a large bowl, using a spoon, mix together the cornstarch and water until thin and watery. It will be thick and tacky at first.

    • Cornstarch and water in a bowl.
    • Cornstarch and water in a bowl mixed.

    Step 3: Add in the other Ingredients 

    Whisk the milk, oil and vanilla into the cornstarch water mixture until fully combined. It might appear very bubbly and that’s ok.

    Step 4: Add in the Dry Ingredients 

    Using a whisk, stir in the gluten free flour mixture to the wet ingredients, a third at a time until just combined. If it gets too thick, switch to a spatula. 

    • Mixing the wet ingredients with the cornstarch water.

    Step 5: Fold in the Blueberries

    Fold in the ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons blueberries using a spatula. Do this gently, so not to break them.

    Step 6: Scoop the Batter

    Use a small cookie scoop to scoop the batter into a lined mini muffin pan and smooth the tops with a small knife. My pan holds 24 mini muffins. 

    If making regular size muffins, use an ice cream scoop to scoop the batter into 6 lined muffin cups. Make sure to smooth the tops. 

    • Adding the blueberries to the batter.
      Step 5
    • Putting the batter into muffin wrappers in a muffin tin.
      Step 6

    Step 7: Bake

    Bake in the center rack of the 375 degree oven for 18 minutes until the mini muffins are golden brown on top, risen and springy when gently touched. 

    If baking the regular size muffins, bake the 6 muffins at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 24 minutes.

    Step 8: Cool

    Once out of the oven, let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then remove from the pan and let cool completely on a wire cooling rack.

    Expert Baking Tips

    Smoothing the Batter

    Many gluten free batters have a way of staying exactly as they are placed, when baked.
    If you leave it misshapen, that’s how it will remain when baked.

    When the batter is in the muffin cups, gently smooth the tops with a butter knife prior to baking.

    Filling the muffin tins

    Make sure to fill each muffin cup almost all the way to the top. You want the muffins to have beautiful height.

    Pick over your blueberries 

    Make sure to wash and then go through all the blueberries.

    You want to make sure they don’t have any stems or mold.

    FAQ

    What size muffin pans should I use?


    You can use two sizes.

    Either use a mini muffin pan that holds 24 mini muffins.

    Or use a 6 cup regular muffin pan.

    How many muffins does this recipe make?


    This recipe makes 24 mini blueberry muffins or 6 regular sized muffins.

    For 12 regular size muffins, double the recipe.

    Can I make these muffins ahead of time?


    Most gluten free baked goods are best made the same day, but you can make these muffins the night before.

    Once they are completely cool, store them in an airtight container at room temperature.

    Storing and Freezing 

    Storing

    Keep the gluten free blueberry muffins in an airtight container at room temperature.
    If you don't have an airtight container that fits them all, wrap any extras in aluminum foil.

    They usually stay soft up to 2 days.

    Freezing

    You can freeze these mini blueberry muffins.

    Simply wrap each individual muffin in aluminum foil and then place them all in a zip top bag. 

    You can keep the muffins frozen for up to 30 days.

    Thaw on the counter for about 2 hours before eating or until the muffins are room temperature and soft.

    If you want them warm and softer, heat each muffin for a few seconds in the microwave after taking them out of the foil.
