Description
Enjoy these delightful vegan blueberry muffins, a perfect plant-based treat. They use simple swaps like flaxseed for eggs and non-dairy milk for a moist and tender crumb.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk (such as almond, soy, or oat)
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with 12 paper liners or grease it well.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flaxseed meal and water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it forms a gel-like consistency. This is your flax egg.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gently fold in the blueberries into the dry ingredients.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the non-dairy milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and the prepared flax egg.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh blueberries. If using frozen, do not thaw them before adding to the batter.
- You can add a touch of lemon zest to the batter for extra flavor.
- These muffins are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
