How to Make Blueberry Muffins

Ingredients

• 15 oz (425 g) gluten-free plain flour
• 1½ tsp gluten-free baking powder
• ¾ tsp xanthan gum
• ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
• a pinch of salt
• 5 oz (150 g) granulated sugar
• 4 oz (120 g) margarine, softened
• 2 large free-range eggs
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• 9 oz (250 g) plain yoghurt
• 5 oz (150 g) blueberries

1. Preheat the oven to 190°C/Gas Mark 5. Line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases.
2. Combine the flour mix, baking powder, xanthan gum, bicarbonate of soda and salt in a large mixing bowl. Stir briefly to mix.
3. Cream together the sugar and margarine in a separate mixing bowl using an electric whisk, until pale and thick, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one by one, then add the vanilla extract.
4. Gently stir in the flour mixture and yoghurt in three additions, alternating them. Fold in the blueberries.
5. Divide the batter between the paper cases. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and risen; a cake tester should come out clean from their centres.
6. Remove to wire racks to cool before serving.
