Cassava Flour Muffins Recipe with Blueberries (Gluten Free)

Cassava flour muffins are soft, fluffy, and filled with juicy blueberries. They are easy to make, ready in 30 minutes, and a perfect gluten-free snack, dessert, and even breakfast.

These muffins are gluten-free, grain-free, and Paleo. Cassava flour makes the muffins soft and moist.

Cassava flour is a healthy substitute for wheat flour and is made from the root of cassava. It is rich in carbohydrates, and minerals. It is used in baking to make bread, muffins, and more.

Cassava flour makes the muffins dense and chewy so you cannot use it to make all baked goods. For example, I tried making cookies with flour and they fell apart, while some were very hard. But for muffins, I have to say, cassava flour is the best alternative to wheat flour.

Unlike coconut flour, and other substitutes, cassava flour is mild in flavor, and resembles a lot with wheat flour. So, this is great for those who want to avoid nut flour in baking.

When I tried this recipe, it made moist muffins, and they were chewy, but not gummy. They are crusty on the outside, with a moist inside filled with blueberries.

The juice of the blueberries brings the muffins together, making them super moist, rather than dry.

Tips and Variations in the Recipe

Feel free to change the recipe in terms of flavor if you want. Instead of blueberries, you can use chocolate chips, dried cranberries, or any kind of nuts.

If blueberries are your choice of addition, then I recommend getting fresh berries. If they are not available, you can use frozen berries as well. However, make sure to properly thaw them and squeeze out all the excess moisture before adding them to the batter.

If you have an electric mixer, I recommend using it to make a fluffy batter. Make sure to mix sugar and butter for 1 minute for the best results. You can manually whisk the batter as well.

You can also use apple cider vinegar instead of lemon juice. But I personally like lemon juice and zest as it pairs well with blueberries.

Avoid over-baking the muffins. To make sure they are not overbaked, check the muffins after 15 minutes in the oven by using a toothpick.
