These GF blueberry muffins have the tall, domed tops and moist interior of the best bakery muffins. Starting with a high oven temperature creates the initial rise for that classic muffin shape.
This is the kind of recipe that defines American home cooking at its best — straightforward, satisfying, and built on flavors that everyone loves.
Ingredients
- 2 cups 1:1 GF flour blend
- 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup milk, 2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- 2
Whisk GF flour, sugar, and baking powder. Toss blueberries with 1 tbsp of the flour mixture.
- 3
In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, melted butter, milk, and vanilla.
- 4
Fold wet into dry until just combined. Gently fold in floured blueberries.
- 5
Fill muffin cups 3/4 full. Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes, then reduce to 350°F for 15-17 minutes until golden.

Tips & Storage
Pro Tips
The temperature drop technique gives tall, domed muffin tops every time.
Toss blueberries in flour before folding in to prevent them from sinking.
Preheat your pan or griddle properly. An evenly heated surface is the difference between golden perfection and uneven cooking.
Room temperature eggs cook more evenly than cold ones. Pull them from the fridge 15 minutes before cooking.
Storage
Store in an airtight container for 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
Reheating
Reheat in a 350°F oven for 15-20 minutes until warmed through, or microwave individual portions for 2-3 minutes. Add a splash of broth or water to prevent drying. Stovetop reheating over medium-low heat is also effective.
