Gluten free muffins with a swirl of blueberry jam

One of my favorite muffins flavors are, of course, blueberry muffins. There is nothing better than a light and fluffy blueberry muffin. I made my own spin on a healthy blueberry muffin by making a simple jam with frozen blueberries.

Then I made a basic muffin batter and swirled a few teaspoons of the fresh jam into the batter. These gluten free muffins are super easy to throw together and even easier if you substitute some store bought blueberry jam for the homemade one.

What kitchen tools will I need to make these Healthy Blueberry Jam Muffins?

• Sauce pan
• Muffin tin
• Muffin/cupcake liners
• Mixing bowls
• Measuring spoons

What ingredients will I need to make these paleo blueberry muffins?

You will be amazed at how easy it is to make these gluten free muffins with just a few simple ingredients that you may already have on hand.

• Frozen blueberries and water or store bought blueberry jam
• Eggs
• Coconut oil
• Maple syrup
• Vanilla extract
• Almond flour
• Baking powder
• Baking soda
• Salt

How do you make Healthy Blueberry Jam Muffins?

Step 1: Prepare the jam

First, add frozen blueberries to a sauce pan with some water. Heat over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Then, mash blueberries with a potato masher or the back of a fork.

Next, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the homemade blueberry jam to cool completely.

Step 2: Mix the batter

After preparing the jam, preheat the oven to 350F and line 9 muffin tin slots with muffin liners. Then, add eggs, maple syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla extract to a bowl and mix thoroughly.

In a separate mixing bowl combine almond flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Next, fold dry ingredients into wet with a spatula.

Step 3: Bake the muffins

Then, add 3 tbsp of batter into each of 9 muffin tin cups. Next, add 1.5 tsp of jam on top of the batter. Then, take a tooth pick and make figure 8 swirls in the batter to mix the jam into the batter.

Next, bake at 350F for 30 minutes. Finally, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool fully before enjoying.

Step 4: Enjoy!

How should I store these healthy blueberry muffins?

Once made, store these muffins in an airtight container on the counter for up to 5 days. You can also freeze these muffins to keep for longer and defrost in the fridge or microwave.

Can I make these low carb blueberry muffins?

Yes! Just substitute 1/4 cup Swerve or zero carb sweetener of choice for the maple syrup. Then, use 1/2 cup coconut flour instead of almond flour. Finally, add 3 tbsp of almond milk to the batter prior to baking.

This method only makes about 6 muffins so you will need less of the homemade blueberry jam. About 3/4 cup of frozen blueberries and 1 tbsp of water should be enough to make the jam. By my calculations each muffin only has 4g of net carbs!
