Method

Step 1 About an hour before baking, freeze 100g of the blueberries. Preheat the oven to 180˚C/350˚F/gas mark 4 and line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases. Step 2 To make the muffins, beat the butter and sugar together with an electric mixer until very light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, and beat until well combined. Step 3 Once the eggs are incorporated, add in the mashed banana, flour, baking powder, xanthan gum and all the blueberries, then fold in with a spatula until well combined. Step 4 Divide the mixture between the paper cases and sprinkle over the demerara sugar. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until risen and golden. Step 5 Allow to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before removing onto a cooling rack. Shop Free From Food & Drink
