3 steps to an easy gluten-free blueberry apple muffin recipe

Start with mixing the dry ingredients; flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

In a separate bowl, whisk the wet ingredients; dairy-free milk, maple syrup, olive oil and a flax egg.

Add the wet mixture to dry ingredients and mix to combine. Overmixing will make the muffins dense and heavy, so do not overmix the batter.

Once the batter is mixed, gently stir in the fruit, and the batter is ready for baking. So simple, even novice bakers can’t fail.
