Blueberry Muffins with Almonds

Ingredients:

3 cups gluten free flour (we used King Arthur brand)
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 cup gluten free old-fashioned oats
1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
2 cups whole or nonfat buttermilk
1/4 cup butter, melted and cooled
2 large eggs
1 tsp. vanilla bean paste (which is awesome! or use extract)
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray and set aside ( or use tulip papers like the ones shown in the photo).

Whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Stir in oats and almonds.

Whisk together buttermilk, butter, eggs and vanilla in a bowl.

Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture; stir just until blended.

Gently fold in the blueberries.

Spoon the batter into muffin cups ( using a cookie scoop works really well here.

Bake 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of a muffin comes out clean.

Cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then remove from pan and place on a wire rack to cool completely.

Makes 12 muffins.
