Blueberry muffins are one of my favorite portable snacks. They are perfect for breakfast when I need to get out of the house in a hurry. I love them heated up with some ghee in the afternoons. They are easy to pack in lunches and they freeze well for later.

These Gluten Free Blueberry Oat Muffins combine delicious blueberries with oats to give a more substantial snack. I love to use frozen wild blueberries to give a burst of flavor.

These healthy muffins are very dense and do not rise a lot. They will be cooked all the way through, but will not have a large muffin top like gluten muffins do. You may also notice that they will deflate a bit after they start to cool. This is totally normal and happens with dense gluten free baking.

Ingredients

Instructions

Set oven to 350 degrees. Line a twelve muffin tin with paper liners.

Combine apple sauce, vanilla, eggs, sugars and honey in a stand mixer. Add melted coconut oil and blend. Add baking powder, sea salt, cinnamon, almond milk, almond flour, gluten free flour and rolled oats. Mix until just combined. 

Add the blueberries and mix until just blended together. It may be easier to do this by hand especially if you have fresh blueberries so they don't break up too much.

Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes. Let cool completely before storing in an air tight container for up to 5 days. If the muffins aren't going to be eaten within 5 days you can freeze them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you make gluten free blueberry muffins with almond flour?

Yes. These muffins are made with a mix of almond flour, regular gluten free flour and rolled oats. Make sure you use rolled oats that are certified gluten free! Some oats are processed with regular gluten flour and are not gluten free.

Can I freeze these gluten free muffins?

Yes! I love to freeze these muffins in a freezer safe container to have them for later. You can make two batches and freeze one or freeze half of these.

It makes life so much easier when I don't have time to bake to have muffins in the freezer for breakfast or snacks. I like to freeze them individually so I can pull out one at a time. This works great for when I need something to put in lunches also.
