Gluten Free Muffins today! And here’s one with delicious blackberries and lemon curd inside, plus I’ve used some ricotta I had left over, and added some almond flour. Together with the blackberries, these are perfect for a quick morning breakfast and they give you a little protein also.
If you don’t have blackberries, raspberries or blueberries would work perfectly, too. I always try to use less sugar in baked goods, so these have half maple syrup and half cane sugar for the sweetener.
If you want to make the lemon curd, here’s a simple recipe for you, Meyer Lemon Curd. It’s delicious, loaded with tartness and flavor, while not being too sweet. You could also omit it from these muffins if you don’t have any on hand.
