Ingredients

For the muffins:

  • 1 1/2 Cups + 1/4 tsp Pamela's Products Gluten Free Baking and Pancake Mix divided, 197g
  • 1 1/2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt divided
  • 1/2 Cup + 1 Tbsp Unsweetened almond milk divided
  • 1/4 Cup + 2 Tbsp Plain Non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 Large egg
  • 1/3 Cup Thinly sliced basil lightly packed
  • Pepper
  • 1/4 Cup Sun-dried tomatoes (not packed in oil ) finely chopped.
  • 2 Tbsp Goat cheese crumbled (1 oz)
  • 1/4 Cup Honey
  • 2 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1/3 Cup Fresh blueberries

For the glaze:

  • 2 Tbsp Plain Non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 Tbsp Honey
  • 1/4 tsp Vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and generously grease a muffin pan with cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together 1 1/2 cups of the baking mix, baking powder and 1/4 tsp of the salt until well combined, saving the remaining mix and salt for later use.
  • In a separate, large bowl beat together 3 Tbsp of the almond milk (reserving the rest for later) along with the Greek yogurt and egg, until smooth and creamy.
  • Stir the dry ingredients, along with the basil, into the wet ingredients until well combined. Your batter will be quite thick and not "muffin-like" at this point.
  • Divide the batter evenly between two separate bowls. Half of the batter is 3/4 Cup + 1 Tbsp, so each bowl should have this amount in it.
  • In one of the bowls, add in the remaining almond milk, salt and a pinch of pepper. Whisk thoroughly until the almond milk is well mixed and the batter is smooth and lump-free. Then, fold in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and crumbled goat cheese.
  • In the remaining bowl, add the honey and vanilla extract. Whisk until the batter is smooth and lump free.
  • In a small, separate bowl, gently toss the blueberries with the remaining 1/4 tsp of baking mix until well coated. Add them into the honey batter and gently fold in.
  • Fill the muffin cavities only about 2/3 of the way full with each separate batter. You should have 5 goat cheese muffins as well as 5 blueberry muffins, although your goat cheese muffin cavities may be JUST slightly fuller than your blueberry ones.
  • Bake until the blueberry muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted inside each muffin comes out clean, about 20-22 minutes. Cool in the pan for 30 minutes, and then transfer to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
  • Once totally cooled, whisk all of the glaze ingredients together in a small bowl and spread on top of the blueberry muffins. *
  • DEVOUR.

Notes

*The glaze will harden once the muffins are refrigerated.
