Why does Blueberry Muffins say not to overmix?

Step 6 reads: "Gradually stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture alternately with 1/2 cup milk, mixing just until combined." Stirring develops gluten, and gluten makes quick batters tough and tunneled. Stop at step 6 while a few streaks of flour remain; they hydrate on their own.

Can I make Blueberry Muffins gluten-free?

Yes. The gluten in Blueberry Muffins is 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour. Swap the flour for a 1-to-1 gluten-free baking blend (where it only thickens a sauce, half as much cornstarch also works). Everything else proceeds as written.

Is Blueberry Muffins vegan?
