Vanilla Blueberry Lemon Muffins

I have to say gluten-free food is gradually getting better. But, on the downside, most processed food contains chemicals or has a the lack of freshness. I have been on the search for new gluten free recipes that my family will love and ones I can add to my own personal favorites. Tonight, I found one of those recipes. Vanilla Blueberry Lemon muffins. In search of my other love, besides cooking, essential oils, I found this recipe on Pinterest. It is located on the dōTERRA blog. I hope you enjoy and if you are looking for a place to purchase essential oils to use in your cooking, I would be happy to direct you to that information.*  Enjoy this recipe.

 My Little Helpers

 Ingredients:
2 cups gluten free all purpose flour
1 tsp. Xanthan gum
1/2 cup honey
1 Tbs. Baking powder
1/2 tsp. Salt
8 drops of dōTERRA lemon essential oil
1 egg
1 cup Vanilla soy milk (or any milk of choice)
1/2 cup butter (I used Earth Balance)
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries.



Method: -preheat oven to 375 degrees.

1) mix all dry ingredients into large glass bowl.


2) beat egg in medium bowl; add the rest of wet ingredients.

3) mix wet and dry ingredients together in standing mixer.

4) Stir in blueberries.


5) Fill lined muffin cups 2/3 of the way full.


6) bake for 20 min at 375 degrees.

20 minutes is a long time to wait for little people.
