Low Histamine, gluten-free & dairy-free, this muffin is a delicious and convenient snack.
Yield: 24 mini muffins or 12 regular muffins.
I use this gf blend: https://petiteallergytreats.com/gluten-free-flour-mix/
Preheat oven to 400° F.
In a large bowl whisk gf flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and xanthan gum.
In a liquid measuring cup combine oil, egg, and then fill to the one cup line with water (about 1/3-1/2 cup). Add vanilla and whisk until combined.
Add liquids to the dry ingredients and combine. The batter will be thick, do not overmix.
Fold blueberries into the muffin batter.
Grease muffin pan with olive oil. Fill each muffin cup 1/2 to 2/3 full.
Bake for 9-12 min for mini muffins, or 12-15 min for regular size muffins.
Best eaten the day of or store extra in the fridge for 1-2 days. This recipe doubles well. I freeze all the extra muffins in ziploc bags. Take them out and thaw on the counter or the fridge.
These muffins are perfect for on-the-go snacks!

*Update notes: Instead of keeping these higher histamine with the whole egg, I decided to try making them using just the egg yolk. It turned out amazing!

I can’t do eggs in my diet. So I use the flax egg and it worked really well. I also used a flax egg in your meatballs, and they turn out beautiful.
I’m so glad to hear they turned out with the flax egg. I was getting ready to try that as well, I’m happy to know it works 🙂
My understanding is Xanthan gum is high Histamine .Wgat could you substitute for that please?
Hello Stacy,
May I know the measurements in making flax egg? I’m glad that I have found your website because my 11 months old son is also histamine intolerance and I’m having hard time preparing foods for him.
Hello and welcome! I’m so glad you found my page. My Rosie was 11 months old when we found out about her histamine intolerance and I can definitely appreciate the struggle of preparing foods! Feel free to email me at lowhistaminebaby@gmail.com or direct message me on instagram @lowhistamine_baby if you need help with food ideas 🙂
Flax egg is 1 Tb of flaxseed meal + 2.5 TB water. Mix together and let it sit for a min or two before you stir it in.
We’ve been managing chronic rashes for years and just started on the low histamine diet. Thankful people like you have gone before us to help us find recipes that work for us! Will this work with fresh blueberries?
Welcome! Yes this absolutely works with fresh blueberries. You can use the same amount. 🙂 Good luck on your healing journey!
Thank you so much for sharing recipes that taste good!! I made my own GF flour blend using this recipe (subbing arrowroot for potato starch)

I subbed chia seed for xanthum gun in your recipe. Sub tips:

I subbed maple sugar (not syrup) for sugar.
I subbed sunflower oil for olive, because that is what I had on hand.
They turned out great! I did have to cook about 7-10 min longer due to chia seed sub but other than that yummy!
You’re welcome! Thank you for sharing your modifications! I LOVE hearing how people tweak recipes to make it work for their needs. This will be very helpful for other readers!
Anybody have success using a flour blend already made up? Bob’s Red Mill, Namaste, etc. ❤️
So thankful for your time and efforts placed in these posts… it’s tough out here 🙈
You’re welcome 🙂 you’re not alone on this journey!
Hello. Can the xanthan gum be omitted or substituted?
I haven’t tried omitting or substituting it, but here’s an article with ideas. I’d love to know how it turns out if you play with it, then I can add it to the recipe notes for others to see.
