I like to put these gluten free blackberry oat muffins in lunches. They are easy to pack and don't have any nuts in them so they are perfect for kids lunches. They also make an amazing breakfast with a cup of coffee or tea.

I always get excited for blackberry season here in the pacific northwest. We have several places we can pick blackberries. The season starts in July with little wild blackberries and then we have blackberries again in late August on the Himalayan plants.

Frequently Asked Questions

What gluten free flour is best for muffins?

This is definitely a topic where everyone seems to have a different opinion. My personal favorite gluten free flour for muffins and baking in general is Namaste Foods Gluten Free Flour Blend. Their flour doesn't have a gritty texture and makes delicious baked goods.

I also use King Arthur Gluten Free Flour and Bob's Redmill Gluten Free Flour.

How do you make gluten free muffins less dense?

Adding extra moisture to your recipe will usually help if your muffins came out too dense. This can mean adding some apple sauce, extra oil or butter. If your dough looks dry after you've mixed everything in you likely need a bit more moisture.

This can happen if the berries aren't very juicy. Any time you are working with a fruit the moisture level can vary. If you use frozen berries you might find that you need a bit less moisture as they will be more moist as they thaw.

When you are converting a recipe to gluten free you may also find that you need to lengthen the cooking time. If the muffins seems dense and a bit under cooked it likely needed 5-10 more minutes in the oven.
