I have a lot of friends who eat gluten free so I do a lot of gluten free baking in my spare time. Itโ€™s harder to bake gluten free then it is to bake regular. The gluten free flour is finicky. Iโ€™ve tried many combinations of gluten free flours and I have ones I really enjoy. I recently found a new brand of gluten free flour and itโ€™s quickly becoming my go to brand for my baking.

All the ingredients needed to make Gluten Free Lemon Blackberry Muffins

The one that I tried was a bakery style gluten free muffin. The original muffin is blueberry but since blackberries were on sale again I used those instead. The recipe turned out to be delicious. I used 2 cups of the Namaste gluten free all purpose blend flour and 1 cup of brown rice flour and the muffins came out with a great texture.

They were sweet, fluffy, and bursting with blackberries. I also added in some lemon extract which really brightened them up. I also sprinkled a little sugar on top which made them really tasty.

The texture of these muffins is really good. I often find gluten free muffins to be a little grainy but these werenโ€™t. They were pretty light and airy and tasted like they were made in a bakery. We actually compared these to the muffins another friend made and these muffins were the winners. Iโ€™m so glad to have a great gluten free muffin recipe on file for my next breakfast or brunch!
