A recipe for moist, flavorful muffins using gluten-free ingredients, featuring fresh strawberries and oats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
  • 1 cup certified gluten-free rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter or neutral oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, rolled oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg, yogurt (or applesauce), milk, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few streaks of flour are acceptable.
  5. Gently fold in the quartered strawberries.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra moisture, toss the strawberries lightly in one tablespoon of the gluten-free flour blend before folding them into the batter.
  • If using frozen strawberries, do not thaw them before adding them to the batter.
  • You can substitute the Greek yogurt with an equal amount of sour cream for a richer texture.
