FLAX SEED MUFFINS GLUTEN FREE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease 15 muffins cups or line them with paper liners.
• Whisk together the flour blend with the baking powder and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine butter and granulated sugar. Beat on medium-low speed until thick. With the beater still running, add the eggs. Beat until combined.
• Add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed. Mix until thick. Stop the mixer and add the milk and vanilla extract. Mix until a thick batter forms. 
• Gently fold in the blueberries with a rubber spatula.(If you are using frozen or cold blueberries, the batter will get VERY thick. This is totally normal.)
• Spoon batter into prepared muffin pans. Fill each cavity about 2/3 full. Top each muffin with about 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar. (The sugar topping is optional.)
• Bake until a cake tester inserted into the center of one of the muffins comes out clean, about 25 minutes.
• Allow muffins to cool in the pan for five minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Line a 8-inch x 5-inch metal loaf pan with parchment paper and spray it with cooking spray; set it aside.
• Add the sugar and yeast to your warm water (95-110 degrees F) and stir; set it aside for 5-10 minutes but no longer.
• While your yeast is proofing, in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the flours, flax seed meal, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt. Turn your mixer to low and mix just until combined.
• With the mixer still going, add the oil, egg whites, vinegar, and proofed yeast mixture.
• Turn the mixer to a medium speed and mix for an additional 2 minutes. The dough will be thick and sticky.
• Using a rubber spatula, add the dough to your prepared loaf pan making sure to fill in the corners of the pan and level the top. Wet your fingers and smooth the top.
• Cover the dough with a lightly oiled piece of plastic wrap and allow it to rise in a warm place for 45 to 60 minutes, or until it has risen slightly above the loaf pan.
• When the dough is near the top of the pan, preheat your oven to 350°F.
• Remove the plastic wrap and bake for 60 – 65 minutes. Half way through baking, cover the bread loaf with a piece of foil to keep it from over-browning.
• Remove the loaf from the oven and let cool completely before slicing.
• Slice the entire loaf and store in a container at room temperature for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to a month.
