Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins

My hubby just found out he's gluten-intolerant, so I set about turning some of his fave recipes gluten-free. This recipe was originally a little cake recipe, but he always preferred these to real blueberry muffins. These are so good you can't even tell the difference between the real recipe and the gluten-free recipe! I prefer these with finely chopped canned peaches instead of the blueberries, so I usually make 6 peach and 6 blueberry. Hope you enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups confectioners' sugar (Optional)

  • 1 cup almond meal

  • ¾ cup butter, melted

  • ½ cup gluten-free flour

  • 6 egg whites, beaten

  • ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum

  • ¾ cup fresh blueberries

  • 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar for dusting (Optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups.

  2. Mix 1 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, almond meal, butter, flour, egg whites, and xanthan gum together in a bowl until just combined. The mixture will be slightly grainy. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups. Scatter blueberries onto batter.
