Gluten Free Classic Bakery-Style Muffins

These bakery-style muffins bake up with tall, domed tops and a golden, crackly sugar crust that gives way to a soft, tender crumb underneath. The high-heat start followed by a lower, slower finish is the trick behind that bakery-shop rise, and it's a technique that translates beautifully here. Juicy blueberries burst throughout every bite, though chocolate chips or diced strawberries work just as well if you want to switch things up. A touch of sour cream keeps the texture rich and moist without weighing the muffins down, and a sprinkle of coarse sugar on top adds that satisfying crunch bakery muffins are known for. This one is a great fit for a gluten free kitchen, and it's easy to bake a full batch to keep on hand for busy mornings. Warm from the oven with the edges just pulling from the liner, they're the kind of muffin that disappears fast.

Chef's tip
Choose a gluten-free baking blend labeled 1:1 or cup-for-cup and use the same amount. Almond and coconut flour won't work the same way.
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
¾ cup granulated sugar
⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
¼ cup neutral oil (such as canola oil or vegetable oil)
2 large eggs
¾ cup whole milk
¼ cup sour cream
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 ½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries (or chocolate chips, or diced strawberries)
2 tbsp turbinado sugar or coarse sugar, for topping (optional)

Instructions

1
Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 425°F (220°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease each cup well with nonstick spray.
