Best Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins!

Gluten free blueberry muffin

got these cute muffin cups at Home Goods

I had heard the brand Cup4cup Gluten Free Wholesome Flour Blend was good, but I thought it was a little pricey.  I came across it at Stop and Shop though, and figured I would give it a try in my Best Blueberry Muffin recipe.  I was not disappointed!

These muffins really are the best because they are loaded with blueberry flavor! Last year I became obsessed with The Great British Bake-Off on PBS for two reasons. Number 1: I love baking and number 2: because I love all things British!  Well, I noticed that they were always making jam (with no recipe, by the way, just berries and sugar).  Since gluten free baking can often come out dry in texture, I got the idea that adding a blueberry jam to these muffins would not only add flavor but moisture too!

The Cup4cup Gluten Free Wholesome Flour Blend was also a winner, as these came out with the taste and texture of a whole wheat muffin, plus this flour is a healthy GFree alternative as it has a lot of fiber in it, since it is whole grain and contains ground flaxseeds.
