Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a standard muffin tin with paper liners.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar.
Step 3
In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients: applesauce, vanilla extract, egg whites, and milk. Stir well until fully combined.
Step 4
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 5
Gently fold the blueberries and lemon zest into the batter with a spatula, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
Step 6
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 8
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
