Fruity gluten-free muffins
Background
If you’re after a good, basic and easy gluten-free muffin recipe, this is the one! These yummy fruity muffins are very easy to make! You can use most fruits - I’ve already made them with strawberries, blackberries, cherries, raspberries and pears - all were yummy! Also, do add some spices and extra flavours to the batter, such as vanilla, lemon/orange zest, cinnamon or ground ginger, depending on the fruit you’re using. If dairy is an issue for you, use plant-based yogurt instead.
Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free flour
- ½ cup muscovado sugar
- 1 cup kefir or yogurt
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup oil
- 1 cup of chopped fruits
- 2 tsp gluten-free baking powder
- 1 pinch of salt (or 1½ tsp baking soda)
- Optional extras: vanilla essence, cinnamon, grated lemon zest, nuts etc
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Mix the egg with the oil and yogurt.
- In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, your chosen spices, then add the egg mixture and combine. Fold in carefully the fruit pieces (and nuts if used).
- Spoon the batter into silicon muffin cases or into a muffin tin, lined with paper cases.
- Bake the muffins for about 25 minutes until golden.
- Transfer them to a cooling rack.
- Serve at room temperature.
