Equipment

Ingredients
  

For the jam:

  • ½ Cup Fresh blueberries See note for frozen
  • 1 teaspoon Lime Juice, Fresh
  • 1 tablespoon Water

For the crumble:

For the Muffin Batter:

  • ½ Cup Vegetable oil or canola oil
  • ½ Cup White Sugar
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 1 Cup + 2 tablespoons Bob's Red Mill 1:1 Gluten Free All Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ¼ teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 2 ounces Whole Milk
  • ¾ Cup Blueberries, Fresh

Instructions
 

For the Jam:

  • In a small sauce pan on medium heat cook the blueberries, lime juice and water until thick and jammy. Stir occasionally so the mixture doesn't burn, then set aside.

For the crumble:

  • In a medium bowl, use your hands to work the butter into the flour and sugar really well until completely mixed together and crumbly. Set Aside.

For the muffins:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray or line with muffin liners.
  • In a stand mixer, beat the oil and sugar until just combined, then add the egg and beat again.
  • Add the gluten free flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the mixture and beat on medium speed until a smooth but thick batter forms.
  • Gradually and slowly on low speed add the milk until incorporated. Scrape the sides of the bowl and beat until the batter is smooth.
  • Fold in the blueberries with a spatula and scoop the batter into six muffin tin cavities all the way to the top. Add a small amount (less than a teaspoon) of jam to each top and swirl in with a toothpick. Top each muffin with some crumble mixture. You should get six muffins.
  • Bake muffins for 30 minutes or until the tops don't cave when gently pressed and a toothpick comes out clean.

Notes

Frozen blueberries will work, but they release more liquid and weigh down the batter a bit. For the best results, use fresh blueberries.
