Ingredients and Substitutions
While this recipe uses several ingredients, the result is worth it. Make sure you check out the recipe card to get the complete list of ingredients and measurements.
Almond flour – I use blanched almond flour in this recipe because it’s a vegan-friendly flour.
Unsweetened nut milk of choice – I use almond milk, but any type of unsweetened nut milk will work.
Neutral oil – I use avocado oil, but any neutral oil will work.
Fresh blueberries – You could also use frozen blueberries, just be sure to thaw them before adding them to the batter.
Maple syrup – You could also use agave nectar.
How to Make Vegan Blueberry Muffins
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F/175°C and line a muffin tin with 12 cupcake liners.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, mix the almond flour, gluten-free all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt.
Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together the nut milk, oil, lemon juice, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
Step 4: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until combined. Stir in the blueberries and set aside.
Step 5: For the streusel, combine all ingredients in a medium bowl until a crumbly sand-like mixture forms.
Step 6: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups, and top each with streusel.
Step 7: Transfer to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Let cool completely before storing or serving.
Tips And Tricks For Making Vegan Blueberry Muffins
Find a Vegan Butter That You Love
There are so many vegan butter options on the market, and they all have different flavors. Be sure to find one that you love because it will make a difference in the taste of your muffins. I prefer Miyoko’s Vegan Butter, but you can find one you love!
Add Other Mix-Ins to Your Muffins
This recipe is for Vegan Blueberry Muffins, but you could easily add other mix-ins to the batter. Chocolate chips, raisins, or even shredded coconut would be delicious!
Easy Vegan Blueberry Muffins FAQs
What is the best way to store these muffins?
These Vegan Blueberry Muffins will last in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the freezer for two months.
Do I have to use fresh or frozen blueberries?
You can use either fresh or frozen blueberries in these muffins. If using frozen, there is no need to thaw the berries first. Simply add them to the batter frozen.
I don’t have any non-dairy milk on hand, can I use water?
Yes, you can substitute water for the non-dairy milk in this recipe. The muffins will not be as rich or moist, but they will still taste delicious!
What do you coat blueberries with before baking?
The cornstarch helps to coat the blueberries so they don’t sink to the bottom of the muffins while baking. This step is optional, but I find it helps distribute the berries evenly throughout each muffin.
How do you make blueberry muffins taste better?
You can do a few things to make your blueberry muffins even more delicious: pour the streusel topping on the muffins, add a lemon glaze, or add a teaspoon or two of freshly grated lemon zest to the batter.
Add a tablespoon or two of flaxseed meal to the batter. This will add some healthy omega-3 fatty acids and make the muffins even more nutritious!
