Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. Whisk thoroughly to ensure no lumps.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture until just combined, then incorporate the blackberries.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix the streusel topping ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Divide the muffin batter into the prepared tin, filling each liner about three-quarters full. Sprinkle the streusel topping on each.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Your kitchen will smell amazing!
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
