Blueberry Rice Flour Muffins

If you follow us, you know that we don't post a lot of recipes. Occasionally, however, when we come up with something amazing we do it! These muffins are fantastic with coffee, especially our medium roasts! They're refreshing, healthy, very low in sugar, and taste wonderful! They're not the sugary blueberry muffins you're used to getting from the store, with a load of butter and really high in calories--this is more like a blueberry coffee cake muffin! 

Makes: 6 Muffins (double recipe for a full dozen!)

Preheat Oven: 425 Degrees Fahrenheit

Ingredients

(For the Muffins)

• 1 Cup of Rice Flour (Brown or White, it doesn't matter--rice gives a bit more of a fluffier texture though while brown rice gives a grainier kind of feel)
• 1/2 Cup of Milk
• 2 Tablespoons of Coconut Sugar (or regular sugar is fine)
• 2 Tablespoons of Coconut Oil (Melted)
• 1 Egg
• 1/2 Teaspoon of Salt
• 1/2 Cup of Blueberries
• 1/2 Teaspoon of Grated Lemon Peel (you can find this at most grocery stores)
• 2 Teaspoons of Baking Powder

(For the Topping)

• 2 Tablespoons of Coconut Sugar
• 2 Teaspoons of Rice Flour
• 1 1/2 Teaspoon of Coconut Oil (Melted)

Instructions for Muffins: 

Step One: In a small bowl, combine rice flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, salt, and grated lemon peel.

Step Two: In another bowl, mix the egg, milk, and coconut oil. Mix well! 

Step Three: Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix well! 

Step Four: Add the blueberries (I save this step for last because I like to see my blueberries to still be whole and not mashed in when I eat them)!

Step Five: Pour contents of the muffin mix into a greased six-cup muffin pan!

Instructions for Streusel Topping: 

Step One: In a small bowl, mix the Coconut Sugar (or regular sugar) and the Rice flour.

Step Two: Add the Coconut Oil. Mix well into a grainy or sand-like texture. 

Step Three: Place the topping on top of the muffin batter.

Cook for 15-20 minutes, checking the muffins with a knife insert to ensure they are cooked through thoroughly. The muffins should be lightly brown.
