Ingredients
  

  • 40g fine, fresh white rice flour
  • 20g light brown sugar
  • 1.5g (1/4 teaspoon) baking soda
  • 25g plain yoghurt (vegan or regular)
  • 40ml milk of choice (plant based or regular)
  • 10ml (2 teaspoons) neutral flavoured oil (I used vegetable) or 25g regular or vegan butter, melted
  • 15-20g frozen blueberries
  • 1/2 teaspoon vinegar or lemon juice

Optional extras

  • 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla paste or extract
  • pinch of fine salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180C/356F. Grease or line an 80ml (1/3 cup) capacity muffin hole.
  • Whisk the dry ingredients together in a small bowl. Whisk in the wet ingredients. The batter will thin out a little after 15-20 seconds of whisking. If it is still thick and chunky, add a little extra milk.
  • Add the blueberries and mix, then transfer into your greased muffin hole or muffin liner.
  • Bake the muffin for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Notes

  • Stale or gritty white rice flour will ruin your muffin. It has a musty, floral flavour that can't be hidden, particularly in 'vanilla' baked goods. Make sure you choose a fresh and finely ground variety.
  • You can add as many blueberries as you like, but you might end up with a bit too much batter. 
  • If you divide the mixture between two muffin holes, check on it sooner (about the 10-15 minute mark) to ensure they're not burning.
