Freshly baked gluten-free muffins with strawberries.These delightful gluten-free strawberry muffins are full of bursts of sweet strawberries plus they’re deliciously moist and have a tender crumb, exactly what makes these so, so good. These work perfectly for every day but are perfect for a special brunch as well and don’t forget serving these for a coffee break.

Being able to make your own delicious baked goods is such a treat and especially when you’re gluten-free and dairy-free. There is nowhere local that I would be able to buy wonderful baked goods like this and perhaps you find yourself in the same boat as me.

So get yourself some fresh or frozen strawberries and whip these yummy muffins up. You won’t be sorry one bit!

How to Make Gluten-Free Strawberry Muffins:

Preheat oven to 350°. Grease bottoms of 12 muffin cups or place cupcake liners in each cup.

Gluten-free flour mix for strawberry muffins.In a medium bowl whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Sugar and Smart Balance reading to be creamed for strawberry muffins.In a large bowl using a hand or stand mixer cream together the softened buttery spread and sugar.

Creaming the butter and Smart Balance for the strawberry muffins.The sugar and buttery spread all creamed together.

Adding eggs to the muffin batter.Then beat in the eggs and vanilla. Next, mix in the almond milk.

Mixing the gluten-free flour mix into the muffin batter.

Add the flour mixture to the batter and mix until combined.

Strawberries added to the muffin batter.Then fold in the chopped strawberries. Chop the strawberries more on the smallish size. No bigger than 1/2 inch square.

Enjoy these delicious muffins warm or cool.

Special Ingredients for Gluten-Free Strawberry Muffins:

  • Buttery Spread: The buttery spread that I use for this recipe is Smart Balance. Earth Balance could also be used. To soften buttery spread set it out on the counter for 10-15 minutes and it will get soft. If you don’t need this recipe to be dairy-free you can use butter.
  • Gluten-Free Flour Mix: The all-purpose gluten-free flour mix that I use is Better Batter. It can be purchased on Amazon or the Better Batter website. I’ve had consistently good results using this blend.
  • Other gluten-free flour blends that are popular are Pillsbury Gluten-Free Flour and King Arthur’s Gluten-Free Flour.
  • Strawberries: You can use fresh or frozen strawberries. If using frozen strawberries let them thaw for about 5-10 minutes before chopping, just thaw enough to be able to cut.
  • Don’t need this recipe to be dairy-free? Replace the buttery spread with real butter and the almond milk with whole milk.

Delightful strawberry muffins fresh from the oven.

How to Measure Gluten-Free Flour:

When baking with gluten-free flours it’s really important how you measure the flour. Use a fluff first and then use the scoop and sweep method.  

  1. Fluff: Before measuring out your flour use a spoon or whisk to fluff the flour in the container- mostly the top portion. Be sure to fluff any flour that you will be measuring. To fluff simply stir around the flour lifting it and letting it fall back loosely.
  2. Scoop and sweep: Use a large spoon to lightly scoop up the flour and place it into the measuring cup. Fill up the measuring cup and then use the handle of the spoon and scrape it across the top of the measuring cup to level off the excess flour. Let the excess fall back into the container. You can also use a knife to level off the flour.

Allow muffins to completely cool before storing in a covered container for up to 3 days or freeze in a freezer bag for up to 3 months.

Fill muffin cups about 3/4 full. And bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick test comes out clean.

      I haven’t made these with oil so I can’t say for certain. The buttery spread creams with the sugar and provides a richer taste than oil would. If you do experiment with using oil let me know how they turn out.

    Excellent. Even non-GF friends really enjoyed them! I used Bob’s GF Baking Flour, real butter, eggs and instead of almond, I used oat milk. I like that it wasn’t overly sweet! This recipe is a keeper!

    Hello Mamashire! I’m happy to have found your blog, as I am GF and DF also, but I can eat eggs (yeah!). I made these muffins the other day. I used 1/2 Bob’s Redmill 1 to1 flour and 1/2 oat flour (w/ some xantham). I cut the sugar to 2/3 c, as I am not a big sweet fan. Everybody in the family (I’m the only one GF & DF) loved them. I’m very excited to try some of your other recipes. Thank you for doing what you do!
