I was given the book “The Gluten-Free Kitchen” – Feel good food for happy and healthy eating by a close friend. It’s a good go-to recipe book for gluten free items. One of my favourite recipes is the Blueberry and Oatmeal Muffins. Blueberries and muffins are a winning ingredient pairing and when there’s a gluten-free element, then the breakfast picture is complete.
