    How to Make Crumbled-Stuffed Blueberry Muffins

    How to Make the Muffins

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a 12-cup cupcake pan with six cupcake liners. Alternate the cupcake liners so every other cupcake space is filled.

    small-batch-gluten-free-muffin-stuff-with-crumble-gluten-free-process-shot

    Combine eggs, butter, and granulated sugar in a large bowl and whisk to combine.

    small-batch-gluten-free-muffin-stuff-with-crumble-gluten-free-process-shot

    Add the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, and cinnamon) to the wet ingredients and combine thoroughly. Make sure the dry ingredients are fully combined.

    small-batch-gluten-free-muffin-stuff-with-crumble-gluten-free-process-shot

    Slowly pour the milk into the bowl and use a whisk to whisk out all the clumps.

    small-batch-gluten-free-muffin-stuff-with-crumble-gluten-free-process-shot

    Finally, add the fresh blueberries and gently fold the muffin batter using a spatula.

    Fill the muffin cups up to the top using an ice cream or cookie scoop.

    How to Make the Crumble

    In a medium bowl, combine butter, brown sugar, and gluten-free flour.

    traditional-gluten-free-strawberry-shortcake-process-shot

    Use your hands to work the mixture until it forms a pebble-like consistency.

    Assembly

    Use a teaspoon to scoop the crumble and push it into the center of each unbaked muffin. 

    small-batch-gluten-free-muffin-stuff-with-crumble-gluten-free-process-shot

    Bake in the oven for 5 minutes. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 350 and bake for 15 more minutes.

    small-batch-gluten-free-muffin-stuff-with-crumble-gluten-free-process-shot

    Remove from the oven and let cool. The tops of the muffins should be golden brown.

    Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

    Hint: The tops of the muffins should be golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.

    Substitutions for Crumble-Stuffed Muffins

    • Blueberries - instead of fresh blueberries, you can use frozen blueberries.

    Variations for Crumble-Stuffed Muffins

    • Orange - add 1 teaspoon of orange zest to the batter to make orange blueberry muffins.

    See these orange muffins on my website.

    Equipment I Use + Love

    • Glass mixing bowls - my favorite set is on sale right now on Amazon.
    • Whisk - I love using a giant whisk.
    • Muffin pan - find a good option HERE. I prefer not to use nonstick because the chemicals can leak into food.
    • Muffin liners - find some unbleached natural ones HERE.

    How to Store Blueberry Muffins

    Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. You may wrap the muffins in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer-safe plastic bag for up to three months in the freezer.

    Top tip

    Cool the muffins on a wire rack after removing them from the oven. A wire rack lets the air circulate and cool the muffins quickly.
