Ingredients
8tbspbutter (1 stick)Melted & cooled to room temp
2largeeggs
1tbsplemon juice
1/2cupmilkI used whole milk, but low fat will work
1 1/2tspvanilla extract
2cupsgluten free flourBob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Baking Flour
3/4cupssugar
2tspbaking powder
1tspsalt
zest from one lemon
2 1/2cupsfresh mixed berriesI used strawberries & blueberries
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375° F / Line your muffin tin with paper liners or grease with coconut oil.
Mix 1 tablespoon of your flour in a medium bowl along with your berries and mix well to coat them with the flour; this will prevent the berries from staining your batter and will give you a cleaner contrast. This is, however, completely optional.
In a medium bowl, add melted butter, milk, eggs, vanilla extract & lemon juice and whisk well.
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and lemon zest, and mix together until combined.
Add your wet mixture to your dry ingredients and mix together with a spatula or wooden spoon just until its all incorporated. Fold in the berries.
Evenly divide the batter into your prepared lined/greased muffin tins and bake for 40-45 minutes or until the top is set and has developed a beautiful golden color. If you are using a 12 cup baking pan, check your muffins at the 20 minute mark as they will cook a lot faster.
Notes
🧡 Pro Tip: Once you add the lemon juice to the wet mixture, it will appear curdled; don't worry though, as this is creating a sort of buttermilk and will ensure that your muffins and light and moist at the end.
