Chocolate and Blueberry Muffins - Glutafin gluten free recipes

Add a comment on Chocolate and Blueberry Muffins

Being gluten free there was a bit of a food science challenge to make sure that all the blueberries did not sink to the bottom of the muffins. It is therefore quite important to weigh ingredients accurately as this recipe was developed after many interesting attempts! Many recipes use dried blueberries but this uses fresh ones which give a delicious moist fruity flavour. They are also very good for you. It is also best to use quite a high percentage cocoa solids dark chocolate for the best chocolate flavour. Look out for brands with 70% or more for ultimate results
