Gluten Free Orange Blueberry Muffins

Muffins are one of my daughter’s favorite things to make. She has become the official muffin baker at our house and keeps our freezer full of delicious gluten free muffins.

These gluten free orange blueberry muffins are a recipe that we made recently and they turned out delicious!

We simply took our favorite gluten free lemon blueberry muffin recipe and used orange juice instead. Easy and delicious!

Citrus and gluten free go together really well. The acid in the citrus helps the texture of the gluten free flours. The taste and texture are usually better when the liquid in gluten free baking is acidic.

These muffins are a great example of that. They don’t have a lot of citrus in them, but just enough to make the taste and texture perfect.
