I absolutely LOVE fresh fruits and vegetables. I found an amazing deal on blueberries and I stocked up. I have 4 – one gallon bags in the freezer for this winter, made a fruit salad and was heading in the direction of blueberry muffins and decided to convert the recipe to a muffin cake.
This time of year we are normally scrambling with the homesteading responsibilities, but this year I have many articles to write, food to put up, books I am working on and websites to design so I am cramming things into small windows of time to still be able to cook and bake everything from scratch. So, being that muffins would have taken just a touch more time I decided on the muffin cake. I think we do a pretty good job of creating our own vocabulary as well as our own concoctions here in the wilderness. 🙂
I have oh so many more recipes and things to share that we are working on back here. I have water kefir going strong making probiotic homemade soda and I am experimenting once again using my water kefir to make milk kefir. I have many cheese recipes as well as a homemade butter recipe all from the goats milk we were blessed with while we sat our friends 3 milk goats. So stay tuned for SO much more from our wilderness adventures….
Here is a link to the original muffin recipe from my MOST favorite gluten free recipe site www.GlutenFreeOnAShoeString.com with Nicole Hunn with her Cranberry Blueberry Muffins. I also feel you will enjoy her cookbooks which happen to be my favorite.
I altered Nicole's recipe just a touch so that I could make my muffin cake. I think you will greatly enjoy this tasty treat…
Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins or Muffin Cake
- 1 1/2 cups Better Batter gluten free flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/3 cup raw organic sugar or sucanat
- 1 cup blueberries
- 8 tbsp butter, at room temperature (I use Nucoa or Goats Milk Butter)
- 1 XL egg, beaten (from my coop)
- 1 cup sour cream (I use Toffuti brand)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla (homemade vanilla recipe)
- 1/2 cup milk (goats, coconut, almond)
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease or line a standard 12-cup muffin tin, and set it aside.
- In a large bowl, place flour,baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar and whisk together and combine well. In a small bowl, place the blueberries and 1 tsp of the dry ingredients on top of the blueberries. Toss to coat and set the bowl aside.
- To the large bowl of dry ingredients, add the butter, egg, sour cream, vanilla and milk. Mix well. The batter will be a bit thicker. Add the blueberries and distribute evenly.
- Fill either muffin tins lined with papers or place in two 9″ round pans and using a spatula spread evenly.
- Bake for 20 minutes and then check with a knife or toothpick to see if done in the middle. If it is still wet set your timer for 5 minutes and check again. Repeat the process until the toothpick or knife comes out clean.
Thanks for following along on our adventures. God bless you and yours!
