  • .
  • WET mix:
  • . 2 xLarge eggs
  • . 1/2 cup (120ml) vegetable oil
  • . 1 Tbsp. (15ml) pure vanilla extract
  • . 1 cup (250ml) buttermilk [or 1 Tbsp. white vinegar and milk to equal 1 cup]
  • .
  • DRY mix:
  • . 2 cups (260g) sweet white Sorghum flour
  • . 1/2 cup (65g) Tapioca flour (or Arrowroot)
  • . 1 tbsp. (15ml) GF baking powder**
  • . 1 tsp. (5ml) sea salt
  • . 2 Tbsp. (30ml) grated fresh Ginger
  • . 1 orange or lemon, finely zested
  • . 1/2 cup (120g) candied ginger (finely chopped)

Directions

  1. . Position the rack in the center of the oven. Pre-heat the oven to 375F. Lightly oil the surface of the muffin pan and then place the paper liners into the cavities.
  2. . > JAM making: In a small saucepan place half (1 cup) the amount of the berries with the sugar (1/8 cup) and bring to a boil. LOWER the heat to medium and stir every so often until the berries and sugar have reduced, thickened and concentrated the berry flavour as the water evaporates. Remove from the heat and let it cool while preparing the rest of the recipe.
  3. In a large bowl, combine and whisk ALL of the mentioned DRY ingredients and make a well. Then, whisk the eggs in the well, followed by the oil, vanilla and buttermilk. With the aid of a solid spatula, combine just until traces of flour have disappeared.
  4. . Spoon in the batter only about halfway before sprinkling most of the blueberries evenly. Then, spoon the remaining batter evenly and finish off by slightly swirling in the jam on the surfaces. Last, add the remaining blueberries over tops.
  5. . BAKE for 22 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and wait only 5 minutes before removing the muffins and placing them onto a cooling rack.
