Ingredient Notes

This recipe for gluten-free blackberry muffins uses wholesome ingredients to create a delicious and healthy treat.

• Fresh Blackberries: Using fresh blackberries in this recipe adds a burst of juicy flavor and texture that frozen blackberries simply can't match.
• Almond Flour: The use of gluten-free, low-carb almond flour in this recipe not only makes it suitable for gluten-free and low-carb diets, but also adds a nutty flavor and moist texture to the muffins.
• Sugar Substitute: We used erythritol powdered sweetener as a sugar substitute in this recipe, but feel free to use your preferred sugar-free sweetener. Powdered sweetener is preferred over granular sugar in this recipe as it dissolves more easily and evenly, resulting in a smoother texture and better incorporation into the batter.
• Lemon Juice: The addition of lemon juice in this recipe helps to enhance the flavor of the blackberries and adds a bright, tangy note to the muffins.
• Sour Cream: Sour cream is used in this recipe to add richness and moisture to the muffins, resulting in a tender crumb and irresistible texture.

Steps by step instructions

How to make gluten-free blackberry muffins

STEP 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F

In one bowl whisk together the dry ingredients (almond flour, baking powder, salt and sweetener used), and set aside.

In another large bowl whisk together the wet ingredients (eggs, softened butter, room temperature sour cream, vanilla extract and lemon juice). Then combine the wet and dry ingredients together and mix with a rubber spatula until evenly incorporated.

STEP 3: Line a 12-cup muffin pan with muffin liners and then use a large ice cream scoop to scoop the batter into each muffin liner. I used one scoop per muffin and then any remaining batter was evenly distributed.

Optional: top each muffin with one more blackberry.

Recipe tips on making the best muffins

• Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can cause the muffins to become dense and tough, so be sure to mix just until the ingredients are combined.
• Use fresh blackberries: While frozen blackberries can be used in a pinch, fresh blackberries will give your muffins a brighter, juicier flavor and better texture.

Storage

To store these muffins, allow them to cool completely and then place them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

For longer storage, place them in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

If freezing, be sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe container or resealable bag.
