I’ve been working on another muffin recipe, and I think I finally got it 🙂 These are super simple little guys, that would probably work with any fruit inside, but I’ve been making them with defrosted blueberries. Enjoy!
Easy Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins
Ingredients:
4 eggs
1/4 cup butter, ghee or palm shortening (as tolerated)
1/8 tsp liquid stevia (optional)
1/4 cup honey
1/3 cup arrowroot flour
1/3 cup coconut flour, sifted
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 and 1/4 cups blueberries (thawed if using frozen)
Directions:
- Add all the ingredients except for the blueberries to a mixing bowl. Beat with mixer.
- Let it rest for about 5 minutes. Fold blueberries into batter.
- Fill unbleached muffin cups almost full.
- Bake at 350 for about 24 minutes.
Makes about 9 muffins.
♥, Kelly

These sound great! Love the use of tapioca flour; it’s such a great starch. YUM! I bought frozen blackberries yesterday, I should try mixing up the berries.

arrowroot….
Ellen Allard says
Yum. You are just the cat’s meow. These look great! What is your trick with the blueberries? Whenever I use frozen blueberries, they bleed into the batter and turn it purple!

Kelly, I so appreciate your diligence on making the best muffins for us all! 🙂 These look gorgeous so I know they are delicious, too. Love the ingredients, too (e.g., can you say honey, honey?)!
xo,

Kelly, would coconut oil work instead of the ghee and olive oil?
Becky says
What is a possible replacement for the stevia?
Lori says
Coconut sugar or nectar
Gina says
What can you sub out for the arrowroot flour?
Jerri-lynn says
Hello…the flavor of the stevia….Chocolate Raspberry … is bewildering me… the thought of chocolate in a blueberry muffin sounds bizarre to me…do you taste the chocolate? Is there an alternative ? Thank you for any input.
Kelly says
It’s optional. I like Beth’s idea of using a little lemon extract 🙂
Lori says
I love Vanilla Creme (& English Toffee) – either would be delish alternatives ?
Beth N says
Just made these. Instead of stevia I did a smidge of lemon extract. The honey gave it plenty of sweetness. These came out beautifully. It’s hard to replace throw root a it’s a natural thickener. Maybe tapioca?
Beth N says
Sorry *arrowroot
Kelly says
Nice idea! And, yes. Tapioca can replace the arrow root.
Katrina says
Love the recipe – it would be really awesome if it was printable!
Linda says
Copy/paste it and then print it.
Wendy Tabart says
These sound Yum! I’d like to make them dairy free. Have you tried anything as an alternative to the butter with success? Thanks for sharing, Wendy
Kelly says
You could try earth balance buttery spread.
Jen Pinter says
My family and friends love these. I like to add 5 drops of my doTERRA Lemon essential oil instead of the stevia.
Ashley says
I live in on the eastern shore of Maryland, and most flour replacement ingredients are difficult to find. Is there a way to avoid arrow root?
Kelly says
I order my arrow root (and most ingredients) online, but you could try this recipe that does not use starch: https://www.thespunkycoconut.com/2013/06/blueberry-paleo-muffins/
Samantha says
I made these with cranberries and also added 2-3 tsp of orange juice, orange zest, and 1 less egg. Used coconut oil in place of butter, and used regular stevia. Absolutely delicious!!
HP says
I just made them without stevia as the honey is sweet enough and they are GREAT!
Thank you!
Nionie says
Try these with an extra egg, a very ripe peeled and cored pear puréed into the batter, and a chopped pear folded through…. My small people thoughts these were to die for. Thanks, and good job!
Elizabeth says
These are the best! Since removing grains and processed foods from my diet a few years ago, I’ve been searching for a delicious blueberry muffin recipe and this is it! Reminds me of the Betty Crocker muffins I used to love, only tastier and way better for you! Thanks!!!
Kelly says
So glad you like them! 🙂
