Vegan Blueberry Muffins
These Vegan Blueberry Muffins are made with a mix of all-purpose and whole wheat pastry flours, baking powder and soda, oat milk and apple cider vinegar, applesauce, cane sugar, vanilla, and fresh or frozen blueberries. The muffins yield a moist, tender crumb with bursts of juicy blueberries and mild sweetness, suitable for plant-based diets and breakfast or snacks.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour or white whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup oat milk
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- ⅔ cup cane sugar or coconut sugar
- ⅓ cup applesauce unsweetened; cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen*
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- Fill muffin tin silicone or paper liners OR spray with non-stick cooking spray (I use coconut oil spray).
- Combine the oat milk and apple cider vinegar in a glass mixing bowl, whisk and set aside.
- Combine all the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt) in a large mixing bowl. Create a well in the middle of the bowl.
- Add the sugar, applesauce and vanilla into the bowl with the oat milk. Stir to combine.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Fold in the 3/4 cup of blueberries.
- Fill wells of the muffin tin and top each muffin with 3-4 blueberries.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Let muffins cool before removing from tin and serving. Muffins are best the day you make them, but leftovers can be kept at room temperature in a covered container for 2-3 days.
Notes
- For gluten-free muffins, substitute the flours with 2 cups of 1:1 gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
- If using frozen blueberries, add them directly to the batter without thawing to preserve their texture.
- Muffins are best eaten the day they are baked but can be kept at room temperature covered for up to 3 days.
