Gluten free blueberry muffins

Description

No longer do folks with wheat allergies have to forego delicious treats like blueberry muffins. With many gluten-free flours on the market it's easy to make them from scratch (King Arthur works great for these muffins)! Xanthan gum is an important ingredient in gluten-free baking as it helps provide structure. You'll find it in some supermarkets and online.
