This classic blueberry muffin is based off of the famous Jordan Marsh Blueberry Muffin recipe. Besides being gluten free, I made a few tweaks to the method to make the recipe easier yet every bit as delicious. One key trick from the original recipe is to smash half of the blueberries before adding them to the batter. Smashing the blueberries gives the muffins beautiful streaks and more blueberry flavor in every bite.
I usually make this recipe using Bob’s Red Mil 1:1, however, it also works with King Arthur Measure for Measure, Better Batter original and Cup4Cup or any all-purpose, gluten-free flour that is a similar blend of ingredients.
