Gluten-Free Black and Blueberry Muffins
Of all the muffins in the world my first choice will always be blueberry. I remember as a little girl going to the large wholesale market to purchase the pre-packaged assortment of muffins. The blueberry muffins were always the first to go, leaving the others left to suffocate in their plastic wrap. Now that I’m older I know better, so therefore I do better.
Why purchase the pre-packaged, bulk-size assortment of muffins? You and I both know that you’re interested in in only one thing – flavor. It will be just as easy to whip up a healthier batch all by yourself – no preservatives added. This gluten-free muffin recipe is all you need and is packed with flavor.
I add blackberries to this recipe, because two types of berries are always better than one, right?!? These muffins rise to the occasion with a crisp, crystalized sugary crust and soft crumb on the inside. Enjoy this homemade gluten free pastry morning, noon, or night.
