Recipe information

  • Yield

    makes 12 muffins

Ingredients

1 cup rice milk
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 cup granulated sugar, plus 2 teaspoons for sprinkling (optional)
1 tablespoon Ener-G egg replacer mixed with 1/4 cup rice milk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 cups Basic Gluten-Free Flour Mix (page 19)
1 cup millet flour
3/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
4 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
1/3 cup blueberry jam (preferably fruit-only)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a muffin pan with 12 muffin liners.

    Step 2

    In a small bowl, combine the rice milk and lemon juice and set aside.

    Step 3

    In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine 1 cup of the sugar and the egg replacer, mixing on medium speed for about 20 seconds.

    Step 4

    Add the rice milk mixture, vanilla, canola oil, and lemon zest. Mix for 30 seconds.

    Step 5

    In a separate bowl, combine the flour mix, millet flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt.

    Step 6

    Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until just combined, about 20 seconds.

    Step 7

    Turn off the mixer and fold in the blueberries.

    Step 8

    Fill the liners to the rim with batter. Spoon 1 teaspoon of blueberry jam onto the top of each muffin, pushing it into the center slightly. Use a chopstick or skewer to swirl the jam into the muffins. Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with the remaining 2 teaspoons sugar.

    Step 9

    Bake in the center of the oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a lovely golden on top, rotating the pan halfway through. Transfer the muffins to a cooling rack.
