Who doesn’t love muffins for Breakfast? I’ve been dreaming about this Gluten free Blueberry Muffins recipe for some time and it wasn’t until my friend Stacy from Paleo Gone Sassy threw a paleo muffin swap that I got off my tush and started baking.
First, this is the first time I’ve used Cassava flour and it is like 180 degrees different from tapioca flour. I would consider it more similar to traditional wheat flour. When I was creating the recipe, I made it 3 times and each time it came out a tad different due to the uniqueness of the Cassava flour. The batter needs to be like pancake batter to come out correct so please note the instructions in the recipe.
Mr. Bejelly said the flavor reminded him of the cereal Buckwheat’s. I find these gluten free blueberry muffins to be soft and delicious, and at the top of my favorites list.
Is it hard to make gluten free muffins?
It’s really not. Since you can use fresh or frozen blueberries, this gluten free muffin recipe is versatile! I’ve bused both frozen blueberries and fresh blueberries and I can assure you that this is the best gluten free blueberry muffin recipe, ever.
It’s loaded with flavor, without the stress of gluten! Doesn’t get much better than that!

Cool! I’ve never used cassava flour, sounds interesting I’m going to have to try these bloob muffins yum! (the best kind)
Can’t wait to try these! Is the recipe suppose to say 1/2 teaspoon sea salt? Thanks.
Ops, yes! Thanks for catching that hun.
I added 1 teaspoon of baking POWDER to the recipe and baked the muffins at 400 degrees for 18-20 mins (depending on your oven). They rose past the tins and tasted extremely close to regular muffins….or should I say like other alternative flours such as quinoa, buckwheat etc.
SO glad you enjoyed it Nancy!
I made these yesterday and needless to say the were a hit in this household! Even my husband loves them and he is anti gluten free 🙂
Yeah!So glad your enjoyed them hun.
WOW! These are amazing! I love the combination of cassava and almond flours in pancakes and was hoping (but doubting) to find them together in a muffin recipe. Luckily I stumbled upon this one. I accidentally put in too much coconut sugar (like double – I reduced the maple syrup a bit to compensate), but it was actually perfectly sweet for my family. Oh, and I didn’t have blueberries so I omitted them this time. Thank you so much!
So glad you enjoyed them Natalie!
I’m wondering if these would work as mini loaves. Any idea?
Can you recommend some other flour for the cassava flour. Cannot get that here.
Sadly, there is not a replacement hun.
