I created this recipe for a private client who is both diabetic and gluten-free. Those two words are often synonymous with unnaturally dense baked goods that have a cloyingly sweet and slightly metallic taste (from artificial sweeteners). Not these blueberry muffins! They are just substantial enough to be filling and each bite highlights the juicy, vitamin C packed blueberries. I used agave as the sweetener because of its low glycemic index, and the protein boost from the flax, nuts and nut milk also helps to keep blood sugar levels steady. A pre-mixed gluten-free all purpose flour keeps things simple. The gluten-free all purpose flours on the market generally work well, though be sure to check the package instructions as some do require adding extra ingredients such as xantham gum. If you’re not shying away from gluten, you can certainly substitute wheat flour.
