Trader Joe's Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins are Moist and Flavorful

— July 28, 2024 — Lifestyle
Trader Joe's bakery section is getting a welcome new addition this month with the release of the brand's new Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins.

Available for a limited time, this seasonal muffin flavor delivers the distinctive taste of fresh blueberries. The muffins themselves are made from a blend of cornstarch, tapioca starch, oat flour, and three types of rice flour to mimic the gluten’s signature texture-building properties. The flavor mixture is then infused with sour cream, vanilla flavor, and a touch of lemon oil to create a moist and cakey-like base. Each muffin is then studded with a generous portion of sweet blueberries and finished with a coarse sugar and oat streusel top.

Perfect for a crowd, Trader Joe's new Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins are summer brunch-ready.
