I would be grateful if you shared this recipe :-)

Gluten free strawberry muffins are so light and fluffy, your family will beg you to make more! Your best bet is to make a double batch of the gluten free strawberry muffins recipe.

Oh, and I have a gluten free diet tip: this is the only gluten free muffins recipe you will EVER need! Just substitute your favorite fruit, chocolate chips, nuts, or anything you like to create a custom muffin recipe you will love.

I was at the farmer’s market last weekend and I couldn’t resist buying a case of these big, fresh, and juicy organic strawberries.

The way I calculate things…I get three baskets and my kids get the other three. Just to make sure they don’t cheat and eat my “recipe” strawberries, I put them in a container and hid it.

(Just in case you love strawberries as much as we do, give this Gluten Free Strawberry Oatmeal Breakfast Bars or this Gluten Free Strawberry Stuffed French Toast a try!)

Now that I made these fresh strawberry muffins, I think the kids are glad I hid some strawberries :-). They ate the first batch of gluten free strawberry muffins before I could even get photos! Luckily, I hid away enough strawberries to make a second batch. (If you don’t have strawberries, maybe you can make one of these gluten free muffin recipes instead!)

While making the second batch of the gluten free strawberry muffins recipe, I made a fun recipe video so you can follow along.

You will be surprised how easy these are to make! (I do want to forewarn you that the music is awful midway. I used a freeware clip of music that YouTube says is similar to another artists music, so they chopped a bunch of it out. I learn something new every day.)

How to Make the Gluten Free Strawberry Muffins Recipe (VIDEO)

I still get pretty nervous making these videos, but I definitely improve with each one I create 🙂

If you have been reading my blog for awhile, you know I love to use almond flour in my baking as a way to add some protein to my baked goods. Anthony’s sent me their certified gluten free almond flour to try out. I can’t say enough good things about this almond flour. I have used their flour before, and honestly, I tend to use a few different ones depending on sale prices…but Anthony’s is fabulous.

The almond flour is so finely ground that these muffins are not gritty or lumpy…just light, and delicious.

Here are two more delicious muffin recipes using almond flour for you to try! Gluten Free Healthy Blackberry Muffins and Gluten Free Peanut Butter Muffins.

  2. The first time I made these muffins I followed the recipe exactly as written. They were perfect. Since then I have made them with frozen blueberries, raspberries, and sweet cherries. I did not thaw the fruit so they do take a little longer to bake but each time they have turned out light fluffy and scrumptious! Thanks for a wonderful recipe!!

    • Hi Lori, you don’t need almond flour, I would replace the 3/4 almond flour with 1/4 cup additional flour and maybe 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal. I haven’t tested that, but you can judge by the batter and how thick it is. You may need to play a little with the proportions. Good luck and please come back and let us know how it turns out.

  5. I just made these today for my little one. She loved them! I adjusted a few things in the recipe. I added less GF flour blend (1/2 cup), an extra 1/4 cup almond flour, and for the rest of the flour I used coconut flour, I used Coconut oil instead of butter and use birch xylitol as the sweetener. Okay, maybe a lot of adjustments, but I am trying to do more clean carbs/paleo-ish/low sugar. I did end up having to use double+ water called for and double the cook time. Thank you for providing all these recipes. I look forward to trying more.

    • Hi Brandi, Thank you so much for writing in. Coconut flour needs a LOT of moisture, so that makes sense that you would need to double the water quantity. I would love for you to comment back and let us know your measurements. I am sure a lot of my readers would love to make these even healthier as you did. Thank you so much for writing. Have a great weekend.
