Gluten-Free Blueberry Almond Muffins

Gluten-Free Blueberry Almond Muffins

Very rarely do I find a gluten-free recipe that truly satisfies my bakery cravings, but these blueberry almond muffins changed everything for me after I accidentally created them during a pantry-cleaning session last spring. They’ve since become my go-to for lazy Sunday mornings when I want something wholesome but indulgent.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
  • 1/2 cup of almond flour for that nutty richness
  • 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, but you could swap in coconut sugar if you’re feeling adventurous
  • 2 teaspoons of baking powder to get that perfect rise
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt, just enough to balance the sweetness
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1 cup of buttermilk for tender crumb
  • 1/3 cup of melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, a generous splash really
  • 1 1/2 cups of fresh blueberries
  • A handful of sliced almonds for that crunchy top

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Whisk together the gluten-free flour, almond flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly with a fork before adding the buttermilk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined – don’t overmix or your muffins will be tough.
  5. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to burst them and turn your batter purple.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  7. Sprinkle the sliced almonds generously over the top of each muffin for that beautiful crunch.
  8. Bake for 20-23 minutes until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Perfectly moist with bursts of juicy blueberries and that subtle almond flavor throughout, these muffins are fantastic warm with a pat of butter or even crumbled over Greek yogurt for breakfast. I love how the almond topping adds that bakery-style texture that makes them feel extra special.

Blueberry Chia Seed Pudding

Blueberry Chia Seed Pudding
A few weeks ago, I was desperately searching for a make-ahead breakfast that wouldn’t leave me hungry by 10 AM, and that’s when I rediscovered this magical blueberry chia seed pudding sitting in the back of my recipe binder—it’s become my go-to for busy mornings ever since.

Ingredients

– 1/2 cup of chia seeds
– 2 cups of unsweetened almond milk
– 1 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries
– 2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup
– 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
– A generous pinch of cinnamon
– A squeeze of fresh lemon juice

Instructions

1. Combine the chia seeds and almond milk in a medium-sized bowl, making sure all the seeds are fully submerged in the liquid.
2. Stir in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and lemon juice until everything is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
3. Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them if you’re using fresh ones.
4. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
5. Refrigerate the pudding for at least 6 hours or overnight—I usually make mine before bed so it’s perfectly set by morning.
6. After chilling, check the consistency by stirring the pudding; if it’s too thick, stir in an extra splash of almond milk until it reaches your preferred texture.
7. Divide the pudding between serving glasses or jars, layering it with extra fresh blueberries if you want that pretty parfait effect.
8. Serve chilled, or let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes if you prefer it less cold from the fridge.

The final pudding has this lovely thick, spoonable texture with little bursts of sweet-tart blueberry throughout. I love how the cinnamon adds just a hint of warmth that makes it feel extra cozy. Sometimes I’ll top mine with a handful of granola for crunch or layer it with yogurt for a creamier version—it’s seriously versatile!

Gluten-Free Blueberry Pancakes

Gluten-Free Blueberry Pancakes

Perfect fluffy pancakes have been my weekend obsession lately, especially since discovering this gluten-free version that doesn’t sacrifice any of that classic diner-style texture. I actually developed this recipe after my sister went gluten-free last year – turns out these blueberry-studded beauties have become our new Sunday morning tradition, complete with plenty of coffee and catching up.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
  • 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons of baking powder
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 cup of milk (any kind you prefer)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons of melted butter
  • A good splash of vanilla extract
  • A generous handful of fresh blueberries
  • Extra butter for cooking

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg lightly before adding the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined – don’t overmix or your pancakes will be tough.
  4. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the gluten-free flour to hydrate properly.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat (350°F if using an electric griddle) and melt about a teaspoon of butter.
  6. Pour ¼ cup portions of batter onto the hot surface, leaving space between each pancake.
  7. Immediately sprinkle 6-8 blueberries onto each pancake while the batter is still wet.
  8. Cook for 2-3 minutes until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges look set.
  9. Flip each pancake carefully using a thin spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown on both sides.
  10. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F oven while you finish the remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan as needed.

Keep these golden beauties stacked high – they come out incredibly light with tender crumbs that practically melt in your mouth. The burst of warm blueberries against the subtle vanilla sweetness makes them perfect as-is, though I sometimes drizzle them with maple syrup or top with a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra protein.

Blueberry Coconut Flour Cake

Blueberry Coconut Flour Cake

Just when I thought my baking experiments were getting predictable, this blueberry coconut flour cake completely changed my perspective. I first whipped this up during a rainy Sunday when my usual all-purpose flour had run out, and now it’s become my go-to gluten-free treat. There’s something magical about how the tart blueberries pop against the subtle sweetness of coconut.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of coconut flour (it’s surprisingly absorbent!)
  • 4 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup of melted coconut oil
  • 3/4 cup of maple syrup
  • 1 cup of fresh blueberries
  • 1 teaspoon of baking soda
  • A splash of vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt
  • A couple of tablespoons of coconut milk if the batter feels too thick

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease an 8-inch round cake pan with coconut oil.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until they’re pale and frothy, about 2 minutes of vigorous whisking.
  4. Slowly stream in the melted coconut oil while continuing to whisk the egg mixture.
  5. Add the maple syrup and vanilla extract to the wet ingredients, mixing until fully incorporated.
  6. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix.
  7. If the batter seems too thick, add a couple of tablespoons of coconut milk until it reaches a scoopable consistency.
  8. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, reserving a handful for the top.
  9. Pour the batter into your prepared pan and scatter the remaining blueberries over the surface.
  10. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  11. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Nothing beats the moist, dense crumb of this cake with its delightful bursts of blueberry. The coconut flavor is subtle but present, making it perfect for breakfast or an afternoon snack. I love serving it warm with a dollop of Greek yogurt for contrast, or toasting slices the next day for extra crispness.

Blueberry Maple Oat Bars

Blueberry Maple Oat Bars
Sometimes I think my kitchen counter was designed specifically for blueberry maple oat bars—they’re that perfect grab-and-go breakfast that makes busy mornings feel intentional rather than rushed. I first started making these when my neighbor gifted me a jar of local maple syrup, and now I whip up a batch every Sunday to set the tone for the week ahead.

Ingredients

– 2 cups of old-fashioned rolled oats (the kind that gives you that perfect chew)
– 1 cup of all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup of packed brown sugar (the dark kind for that caramel vibe)
– A good pinch of salt
– 3/4 cup of cold unsalted butter, cut into little cubes
– 2 cups of fresh blueberries (frozen work too if that’s what you’ve got)
– 1/3 cup of pure maple syrup (none of that pancake stuff!)
– 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
– A squeeze of fresh lemon juice
– 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on two sides for easy removal.
2. In a large bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt, whisking them together until well mixed.
3. Add the cold butter cubes to the dry ingredients and use your fingers to work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized butter pieces remaining.
4. Tip: Keep your butter cold and work quickly with your hands—this creates those lovely flaky pockets in the crust.
5. Press about two-thirds of the oat mixture firmly into the bottom of your prepared pan, using the bottom of a measuring cup to create an even, compact layer.
6. In a separate bowl, gently toss the blueberries with maple syrup, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until the berries are evenly coated.
7. Spread the blueberry mixture evenly over the pressed oat crust, making sure to distribute the berries in a single layer.
8. Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture evenly over the blueberry layer, pressing down lightly with your palms.
9. Tip: Don’t press too hard—you want that crumbly top texture, not a dense layer.
10. Bake for 35-40 minutes at 350°F until the top is golden brown and the blueberry filling is bubbling around the edges.
11. Tip: Place a baking sheet on the rack below to catch any potential drips from bubbling filling.
12. Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before cutting into bars.

Zesty lemon brightens the sweet maple notes while the oat layers provide that satisfying contrast between crisp topping and tender, jammy center. I love serving these slightly warm with a dollop of Greek yogurt for breakfast, or packing them in lunchboxes where they hold their shape perfectly. There’s something about that purple-blue filling peeking through the golden crust that makes even Monday mornings feel celebratory.

Gluten-Free Blueberry Lemon Scones

Gluten-Free Blueberry Lemon Scones

Just last weekend, I found myself with a pint of blueberries that needed using up and that familiar craving for something warm from the oven—you know the feeling. These gluten-free blueberry lemon scones are my new go-to for such moments, perfectly balancing a little sweetness with a bright, zesty kick.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of your favorite gluten-free flour blend
  • 1/3 cup of granulated sugar, plus a little extra for sprinkling
  • 1 tablespoon of baking powder
  • A pinch of fine salt
  • 1/2 cup of cold, cubed unsalted butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup of heavy cream, plus a splash more for brushing
  • A generous handful of fresh blueberries
  • The zest and juice from one whole lemon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, 1/3 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients.
  4. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits of butter remaining. Tip: Keeping the butter cold is key for flaky scones, so work quickly to prevent it from warming up.
  5. In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg, 1/2 cup of heavy cream, lemon zest, and lemon juice together.
  6. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour-butter mixture.
  7. Use a fork to gently stir until a shaggy dough just begins to form.
  8. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
  9. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
  10. Gently knead the dough 2-3 times just until it comes together.
  11. Pat the dough into a 7-inch circle about 1-inch thick.
  12. Use a sharp knife to cut the circle into 8 equal wedges.
  13. Place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about an inch of space between them.
  14. Brush the tops of the scones lightly with the extra heavy cream.
  15. Sprinkle the tops with a little extra granulated sugar. Tip: This extra sugar creates a delightfully crisp, sparkly top crust as they bake.
  16. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Tip: For the most even browning, rotate your baking sheet halfway through the baking time.
  17. Let the scones cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Nothing beats the tender, cake-like crumb of these scones, punctuated by juicy berry pockets and that zingy lemon flavor. Now they’re perfect just as they are, but I love splitting one while it’s still warm and slathering it with lemon curd for an extra citrus punch.

Blueberry Quinoa Breakfast Bowl

Blueberry Quinoa Breakfast Bowl
Waking up to a chilly morning always makes me crave something warm and nourishing, which is how this blueberry quinoa breakfast bowl became my go-to comfort food. I first stumbled upon this combination when I had leftover quinoa and a pint of blueberries that needed using—now it’s my favorite way to start the day with a protein-packed meal that keeps me full until lunch.

Ingredients

– 1 cup of quinoa
– 2 cups of water
– A big handful of fresh blueberries
– A generous splash of maple syrup
– A couple of spoonfuls of plain Greek yogurt
– A sprinkle of cinnamon
– A handful of chopped walnuts

Instructions

1. Rinse 1 cup of quinoa thoroughly under cold running water in a fine-mesh strainer for about 1 minute to remove any bitterness.
2. Combine the rinsed quinoa and 2 cups of water in a medium saucepan over high heat.
3. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then immediately reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid.
4. Simmer the quinoa for exactly 15 minutes—set a timer so you don’t peek and let the steam escape!
5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the quinoa sit covered for 5 more minutes to absorb any remaining liquid.
6. Fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork to separate the grains and create a light, fluffy texture.
7. Stir in a generous splash of maple syrup and a sprinkle of cinnamon while the quinoa is still warm so they blend evenly throughout.
8. Gently fold in a big handful of fresh blueberries—they’ll soften slightly from the heat but still hold their shape.
9. Top the quinoa mixture with a couple of spoonfuls of plain Greek yogurt for creaminess.
10. Finish by sprinkling a handful of chopped walnuts over the top for crunch.

Creamy quinoa mingles with bursts of sweet blueberries in every bite, while the walnuts add a satisfying crunch that makes this bowl feel like a treat. I love how the warm quinoa slightly softens the blueberries, creating little pockets of jammy sweetness throughout. Sometimes I’ll drizzle an extra touch of maple syrup over the top or serve it with a side of crispy bacon for a sweet-savory twist that never fails to impress.

Gluten-Free Blueberry Cheesecake

Gluten-Free Blueberry Cheesecake
Nothing beats that moment when you pull a perfect gluten-free cheesecake from the oven – the golden crust, the sweet aroma of blueberries filling the kitchen. I first experimented with this recipe after my friend Sarah discovered her gluten intolerance, and now it’s become our go-to celebration dessert. Trust me, even the gluten-lovers in your life won’t know the difference!

Ingredients

– About 2 cups of gluten-free graham cracker crumbs (I like the honey cinnamon ones)
– A stick of melted unsalted butter
– A couple of packages of cream cheese, softened to room temp
– About 3/4 cup of granulated sugar
– A splash of vanilla extract
– 2 large eggs
– A pint of fresh blueberries
– A tablespoon of cornstarch
– A squeeze of fresh lemon juice

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grab a 9-inch springform pan.
2. Mix the gluten-free graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter until it resembles wet sand.
3. Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of your pan using the bottom of a measuring cup – this creates an even layer that won’t crumble.
4. Bake the crust alone for 8 minutes at 350°F until lightly golden around the edges.
5. While the crust cools, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla until completely smooth and lump-free.
6. Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated after each addition – overmixing introduces too much air.
7. Pour the cheesecake filling over your cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
8. Toss the fresh blueberries with cornstarch and lemon juice to prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
9. Scatter the coated blueberries evenly across the cheesecake surface.
10. Bake at 325°F for 45-50 minutes until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly when you gently shake the pan.
11. Turn off the oven and crack the door open, letting the cheesecake cool gradually for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
12. Chill the completely cooled cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, though overnight is even better for that perfect sliceable texture.

Really, the magic happens when you slice into this beauty – the creamy filling contrasts beautifully with the juicy berry pockets and crunchy crust. I love serving thick wedges with an extra handful of fresh blueberries scattered around the plate, and sometimes a drizzle of honey for that extra touch of sweetness. The texture stays wonderfully firm yet melts in your mouth, proving that gluten-free desserts can absolutely steal the show.

Blueberry Avocado Smoothie

Blueberry Avocado Smoothie
Zesty mornings call for something refreshing yet nourishing, and that’s exactly why this blueberry avocado smoothie has become my go-to breakfast. I stumbled upon this combination during a summer farmers’ market trip when I had too many blueberries and one perfectly ripe avocado staring back at me from the counter—sometimes the best recipes come from happy accidents!

Ingredients

– 1 cup of frozen blueberries
– 1/2 of a ripe avocado
– 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk
– a big spoonful of Greek yogurt
– a drizzle of honey
– a handful of ice cubes

Instructions

1. Measure 1 cup of frozen blueberries and add them directly to your blender.
2. Scoop out the flesh from 1/2 of a ripe avocado and add it to the blender—this adds creaminess without a strong avocado flavor.
3. Pour in 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk to help everything blend smoothly.
4. Add a big spoonful of Greek yogurt for protein and extra thickness.
5. Drizzle in honey to sweeten naturally; start with about 1 tablespoon and adjust if you like it sweeter.
6. Toss in a handful of ice cubes to make it frosty and refreshing.
7. Secure the blender lid tightly and blend on high speed for 45–60 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth with no chunks.
8. Stop the blender and check the consistency; if it’s too thick, add another splash of almond milk and blend for 10 more seconds.
9. Pour the smoothie immediately into a tall glass for the best texture.Here’s the velvety result: it’s luxuriously creamy from the avocado, with a vibrant purple hue and a sweet-tart burst from the blueberries. I love serving it in a chilled mason jar with a fun paper straw for a picnic-ready treat, or you can even pour it into popsicle molds for a healthy frozen snack on warmer days.

Gluten-Free Blueberry Crisp

Gluten-Free Blueberry Crisp
Oh my goodness, if there’s one dessert that screams comfort to me, it’s a warm fruit crisp straight from the oven. I first made this gluten-free version last summer when my friend with celiac came over, and now it’s become my go-to for any gathering—no one even misses the gluten! It’s the perfect balance of sweet, tart, and crunchy that makes everyone ask for seconds.

Ingredients

– About 4 cups of fresh blueberries (frozen work too if that’s what you have!)
– A good squeeze of lemon juice, maybe 1 tablespoon
– 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
– A couple of tablespoons of cornstarch to thicken things up
– 1 cup of gluten-free old-fashioned rolled oats
– 1/2 cup of almond flour for that nutty flavor
– 1/4 cup of packed brown sugar
– A generous pinch of cinnamon
– A pinch of salt to balance the sweetness
– 1/2 cup of cold unsalted butter, cut into little cubes

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grab an 8×8-inch baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, gently toss the blueberries with the lemon juice, granulated sugar, and cornstarch until everything is evenly coated.
3. Tip: If using frozen blueberries, no need to thaw—just add an extra minute to the baking time later.
4. Pour the blueberry mixture into your baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
5. In the same bowl (less cleanup!), mix the gluten-free oats, almond flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt together.
6. Add the cold butter cubes and use your fingers to rub them into the dry ingredients until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
7. Tip: Keep the butter cold for the crispiest topping—if it starts to melt, pop the bowl in the fridge for 5 minutes.
8. Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the blueberries in the baking dish.
9. Bake at 375°F for 35–40 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and you see the blueberries bubbling around the edges.
10. Tip: Place a baking sheet underneath to catch any drips if your blueberries are extra juicy.
11. Remove from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Perfectly warm and bubbly, this crisp has a crunchy oat topping that contrasts beautifully with the soft, jammy blueberries underneath. I love serving it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream that melts into all the nooks, or even for breakfast with a dollop of Greek yogurt—it’s that versatile and delicious!

Blueberry Vanilla Overnight Oats

Blueberry Vanilla Overnight Oats

Nothing beats waking up to breakfast already made, especially when it tastes like dessert! I first tried overnight oats during a hectic work week when my morning coffee was getting cold while I scrambled to feed myself. Now, this blueberry vanilla version is my go-to—it feels indulgent but takes just minutes to throw together the night before.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of old-fashioned rolled oats (not the quick-cook kind!)
  • 1 cup of milk—I use whole, but any works
  • A big handful of fresh or frozen blueberries
  • A generous glug of vanilla extract
  • A couple of tablespoons of maple syrup, or more if you like it sweeter
  • A pinch of salt to make the flavors pop

Instructions

  1. Grab a medium-sized jar or container with a tight-fitting lid.
  2. Pour in 1 cup of old-fashioned rolled oats.
  3. Add 1 cup of milk, making sure all the oats are submerged.
  4. Tip: If using frozen blueberries, toss them in straight from the freezer—they’ll thaw perfectly overnight.
  5. Drop in a big handful of blueberries.
  6. Drizzle a couple of tablespoons of maple syrup over the top.
  7. Add a generous glug of vanilla extract.
  8. Sprinkle in a pinch of salt.
  9. Seal the jar tightly and shake vigorously for 15 seconds to combine everything.
  10. Tip: Press down on the lid to check for leaks—no one wants a milky fridge!
  11. Refrigerate the jar for at least 8 hours or overnight.
  12. Tip: Give the jar a good stir before eating to redistribute any settled syrup.
  13. Serve chilled straight from the fridge.

Keeps its creamy, pudding-like texture without getting soggy, and the vanilla really lets the blueberries shine. I love topping mine with extra fresh berries and a crunch of granola for contrast—it’s like having a parfait without the fuss!

Gluten-Free Blueberry Banana Bread

Gluten-Free Blueberry Banana Bread
Whenever I have overripe bananas sitting on my counter, my mind immediately goes to this cozy gluten-free blueberry banana bread—it’s the perfect way to turn those speckled fruits into something warm and comforting. I love how the blueberries burst with sweetness in every slice, making it feel like a hug in loaf form. Honestly, this recipe has become my go-to for lazy Sunday baking, especially when I want something that feels indulgent but is still easy to whip up.

Ingredients

– 3 very ripe bananas, mashed until smooth
– 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
– 1/3 cup of melted coconut oil
– 1/4 cup of maple syrup for a touch of natural sweetness
– 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract—just a good splash
– 1 1/2 cups of gluten-free all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon of baking soda
– A pinch of salt
– 1 cup of fresh blueberries, tossed in a little flour to prevent sinking

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan lightly with oil or line it with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until no large chunks remain—this helps create a moist texture.
3. Add the beaten eggs, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas, and stir until everything is well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, mixing just until no flour streaks remain to avoid overmixing.
6. Toss the fresh blueberries in a teaspoon of gluten-free flour to coat them lightly—this tip keeps them from sinking to the bottom during baking.
7. Gently fold the floured blueberries into the batter until they are evenly distributed throughout.
8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly with the spatula.
9. Bake in the preheated oven at 350°F for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean with no wet batter.
10. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely—this prevents it from becoming gummy.
Nothing beats the tender crumb and juicy berry pockets in this loaf, especially when it’s still slightly warm. I love toasting a slice and spreading a dab of almond butter on top for a cozy breakfast, or serving it as a simple dessert with a dollop of Greek yogurt.
