Best Ever Blueberry Muffins

Blueberry muffins that are both delicious and free of the 8 most common food allergens. Wheat free, egg free, dairy free, soy free, peanut and tree nut free.

A friend of mine asked me for a blueberry muffin recipe after finding out that her 5 month old daughter has severe allergies to dairy, egg, and peanuts. My friend is nursing her baby and has to eliminate these foods from her diet as well. I ‘m sure this recipe will satisfy your craving Chrissy!

This allergy friendly recipe comes from a recipe that my mom taught me how to make when I was a kid.  Through trial and error I’ve altered it so that it is free of the top 8 allergens.

Blueberry muffins -  delicious and free of the top 8 allergens.
