Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (113g) butter, melted
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (110g) packed brown sugar
- 1/3 cup (80g) Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (140g) gluten-free flour blend
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Fresh blueberries for mixing in
Instructions:
- Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with muffin liners to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients:
- Sift the gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, and salt together. Gradually fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, stirring just until the batter is uniform and no flour streaks remain.
- Add Blueberries:
- Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the batter to distribute evenly. Be careful not to overmix to avoid crushing the berries.
- Fill and Bake:
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup nearly to the top to allow for a nice dome shape.
- If desired, sprinkle the tops with a little granulated sugar for a sweet, crispy top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy these glorious muffins warm or at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.
