Simple blueberry and lemon oat muffins - gluten-free vegan recipe
Muffins are so easy to make. You can prepare them with different fruits, nuts or spices. Try these simple blueberry and lemon oat muffins, which are gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan.
Blueberry and lemon is the best combination. Blueberries are so juicy and lemon perfectly refreshing and with a combination of fluffy and light cake muffin batter is delicious.
Muffins are made out of different types of gluten-free flour. Because of that, a light consistency was created.
How can I make my gluten-free muffins lighter and fluffy?
There are many tips to make your muffins lighter:
- Baking powder and baking soda. When baking with gluten-free flour, always use a combination o baking powder and baking soda. It will make such a difference!
- Use a combination of different flours. Gluten-free flours can be quite dense, so it is important to combine different types of flour.
- Add vegan butter. Butter makes everything lighter and better.
- Adding lemon juice can make your muffins fluffy and airy.
These are some tips to make your muffins lighter and fluffier. You don't need to use all of these tips, but they will make your muffins a lot better.
What gluten-free flour is best for muffins?
Muffins are supposed to be soft, fluffy, and light. For that specific consistency, you need to use a combination of different gluten-free flours.
In this recipe, I used a combination of buckwheat, rice, and gluten-free oat flour. This combination works amazingly in muffins. However, flours are not the only aspect of making good and soft muffins.
If you are a person who doesn't like buying flours individually, you might consider using a gluten-free flour mix. I suggest Bob's Red Mill gluten-free flour mix or King Arthur gluten-free flour mix.
