On the weekend my sweet man and I went to visit our good friends Candice and Chef Doug McNish at the Wild Blueberry Festival at Brickworks. My intention was to bring home a few pints of wild blueberries, but of course like any visit to the market I picked up a few more things as you can see from my photo.
Since it's wild blueberry season, all the vendors were sampling treats with wild blueberries at Brickworks. So I filled my joyous belly with Doug's blueberry parfait and a few other seasonal bites of goodness. There is something magical about wild blueberries -- they taste like the earth... but not the same way that beets can taste like the earth.. I mean, like dirt. For those of you who eat beets, you know what I mean right? ;) Wild blueberries are heaven-sent!
I created these incredibly healthy and naturally sweet muffins which were similar to the ingredients in these Dairy-free, Gluten-free Morning Glory Muffins that many of you loved and shared your photos on instagram and facebook with me. I made them quite small, so I had two of them just before my yoga practice this morning (heehee).

Blueberry Peach Muffins

Ingredients
- 1 cup brown rice flour
- 1/2 cup oats (look for gf)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 2 organic eggs
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
- 3/4 cup wild blueberries
- 3 peaches, finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a muffin tin with coconut oil or line with paper muffin cups.
- In a large bowl combine flour, oats, baking powder, cinnamon and sea salt. In a separate bowl, combine eggs, almond milk, maple syrup and vanilla. Stir in coconut oil to the wet mixture. Add the dry mixture to the wet and combine, but do not overmix. Fold in the blueberries and peaches. Scoop muffin mix into muffin tins. They do not rise a lot, so you can fill the batter up to the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes. EnJOY!
Notes
* substitute with water if you don't have any milk
Hi Joy! Love your recipes. Always checking your website for something to make for the week =) I love this blueberry and peach recipe. I dont have a muffin tin,craziness i know lol, but id like to use my loaf tin instead. Would I need to alter the recipe for that? Hope to hear from you soon!
ReplyThat will totally work too!
I absolutely LOVE these! and so does my not-so-healthy family!!! definitely one of my favourites!:D
ReplyThese sound great! I'm going to try baking them this week! Is there a substitute for the oats that would taste good? Perhaps another flour? I want to try with the oats as well but my other half isn't such a fan of them.
ReplyHi Joy? Could you please suggest a substitute for oats in this recipe? Thank you.
ReplyYou could use quinoa flakes instead. Hope that helps!
Hi Joy! I really love your recipes :-) Could I use another gluten-free flour? I can´t find brown rice flour here in Germany. Thank you, Tina
ReplyHey Tina, Yes, however the quantities may change just slightly. Do you have buckwheat flour? That's usually an equal swap. Almond flour may work too but the texture may be slightly different. Rachel - Joyous Health Team
Thanks! And would coconut flour work?
ReplyYes but you'd definitely need to add much more moisture. I haven't tested this recipe yet so I can't tell you exactly what the ratios would be however, this is a delicious coconut flour based muffin recipe and you can just add blueberries: https://www.joyoushealth.com/26355-blog-coconut-flour-banana-spice-muffins Enjoy!
Thank you! One more question: If I use buckwheat flower, do I also need to put in one cup or less?
ReplyBuckwheat flour is likely a 1:1 ratio, but because I have not tried it, I cannot speak to the success of these muffins turning out. If you're looking for a muffin recipe other than one that contains brown rice flour, just search "muffin" on my blog, you'll find plenty.
Hi Joy - can brown rice flour be substituted? If yes, please let me know what I can use. Thank you so much! Raquel
ReplyYes, you could swap with oat flour! Here's a recipe I like better without brown rice flour for you: https://www.joyoushealth.com/27085-blog-blueberry-flax-oat-bran-muffins
