Easy and Delicious Immune Boosting Blueberry Muffins (Vegan + Gluten Free)

by Stephanie

Easy and Delicious Immune Boosting Blueberry Muffins (Vegan + Gluten Free)
I remember in high school my best friend Carol worked in the bakery in the local grocery store.
 
She was always making muffins. Big yummy muffins. The muffins she made back then were, I’m sure, not very good for us.

Fast-forward 20 years (ack has it been that long?) and she’s still making muffins.

But this time they’re nourishing and they taste damn good too.

Carol put this recipe for muffins on Facebook the other day and I decided to make them with the kids.

When I asked where the recipe came from, she said: “It’s mine!“I had a feeling it was. So with her permission, I give you her Easy and delicious immune-boosting* blueberry muffins.

Author: Stephanie
Recipe type: Snack
Serves: 12
Ingredients
  • 1 cup brown rice flour
  • 1 cup chickpea flour
  • ¼ cup tapioca flour
  • 1 tbsp psyllium husk
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1¼ cup blueberries
  • ¾ cup maple syrup
  • ½ cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1½ cups almond milk
Instructions
  1. Pre-heat oven to 400ºF
  2. Mix dry ingredients, add in wet ingredients, mix and bake in a muffin pan for 20-25 minutes. (See easy!)
  3. Notes: Use the coconut oil if you have it. If you don't, go get some. It really brings these muffins up a notch and is a huge part of the immune-booster. I didn't have enough maple syrup so I used a combo of syrup, honey and brown rice syrup and they were equally delicious.

The hubs has been very diligent about getting out The hubs has been very diligent about getting out for his steps and most time it’s at night. It takes more of an effort for me, but when I go it’s magical especially in the snow with all of the lights. Plus we get the added benefit of fresh air before bed. I highly recommend it!

As much as possible eat whole foods. I have teens so you know… this isn’t always in my control but do what you can at home.

Wash your hands! You don’t need antibacterial soap… just regular soap will do the trick.

Keep up with vitamins and minerals. Lemon water with a bit of salt first think in the morning and teas throughout the day. 

My kids take the first few supplements every day and the last few when they feel something coming on. 

I’m a huge fan of lemon ginger buckwheat honey tea when sick. Buckwheat works well on coughs!

Eat a big breakfast, go to bed early, get outside and get some exercise. When you’re sick go outside for fresh air.

There’s more weirdo stuff I can tell you about but this is a great start.

(I really hope I don’t jinx our family with this post! 🤪).

P.S. I’m not a doctor. I’m simply telling you what has worked for my family for years.
