Sweet citrus and juicy blueberries. That’s what these beautiful muffins are made of. I just love the combination of orange and blueberries. It’s just meant to be. You really can never run out of muffin combinations and this just happens to be one of my faves!
Want to know what makes me happy? Warm, gluten free muffins on a Saturday morning. Fresh out of the oven, these gluten free vegan blueberry orange muffins are so delightful. I’ve made this recipe not only gluten, dairy and egg free for all of you, but also refined sugar free too. The blueberries add such a natural sweetness, with the addition of coconut sugar and pure maple syrup. Fold in lots of freshly grated orange zest and you’ve taken these muffins to whole other level of goodness.
Muffins make the world a better place. Save this recipe for the next time you are in need of a bright, yummy start to your day!

Muffins never fail to bring smiles!! These look perfect!
Thank you!
Yum! These muffins look so great!
I like to bake and I really like this recipe. Really really good. Thank you so much.
I do not tolerate the almond flour, what do you suggest me to replace it.
Thank you in advance.
You could use oat flour or an additional 1/4 cup of the gluten free flour blend.
I made these for my husband who has recently had to go gluten free and they were delish! It’s so hard to find GF muffin receipes that produce the right texture. These were fab! Subbed 1/4 cup coconut flour in place of the GF flour blend and used less coconut sugar.
thanks for sharing! I’m so glad you enjoyed them!
Anyway to make these sugar free or closer to sugar free? Up the maple syrup and cut down on the coconut sugar? These were are outstanding but really trying to limit sugar.
