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.
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.
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.

Description
This healthy recipe for gluten free blackberry oat muffins uses fresh berries and oatmeal. These are the best muffins for breakfast or a snack on the go. It's so easy to make homemade muffins!
Ingredients
½ cup Apple Sauce
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
2 large Eggs
¼ cup Granulated Sugar
½ cup Brown Sugar
2 Tbsp. Honey
3 Tbsp. Coconut Oil, melted
3 tsp. Baking Powder
1 tsp. Sea Salt
½ tsp. Ground Cinnamon
¾ cup Milk
1 ¼ cup Almond Flour
1 ¼ cup Gluten Free Flour
1 ¼ cup Rolled Oats
1 cup Blackberries
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin tin with liners or grease the tin with coconut oil. Set aside.
In the bowl of your mixer add the apple sauce, vanilla, eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, honey and melted coconut oil. Blend until mixed together.
In a separate bowl whisk together the baking powder, salt, cinnamon, almond flour, gluten free flour and oats.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients along with the milk. Blend until just combined. Don't over mix!
Add the blackberries and stir in by hand using a spatula. Don't over stir or you won't have any blackberry chunks left in your muffins.
Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown and cooked through.
Notes
I used fresh blackberries in this recipe. You can use frozen blackberries, but you may want to reduce the amount of apple sauce you use.
