🫐🫐Blueberry bran muffins🫐🫐

This week, for my inquiry project, I made gluten-free blueberry bran muffins, and honestly, they turned out better than I expected. Muffins are something I’ve baked lots before, but gluten-free baking can still be unpredictable sometimes. With bran in the mix especially, it can be harder for gluten-free muffins to rise the way you want them to. This batch, though, came together really nicely and baked up soft and fluffy.

The blueberries added a lot of moisture and sweetness, which helped keep the muffins feel less dense. They held their shape, didn’t sink after cooling, and had a nice muffin top, which always feels like a win when baking gluten-free. I always find brand bran muffins a great breakfast when u don’t have enough time to cook anything.

These muffins are definitely something I’d make again, especially for an easy breakfast or snack to share.
