Blueberry Muffins

A Delicious Classic

Blueberry muffins will always remind me of my childhood. Whether it was eating blueberry Little Bites or the huge Costco muffins.

For my recipe of blueberry muffins, they are dairy-free and egg-free. Depending on what sugar you use they will also be refined sugar free.

When making anything in my cupcake pan, I always use silicone liners. They are super easy to clean, and I never have to worry about anything getting stuck to them. When using these I don’t even have to spray with any oil, the muffins just come right out. Using them also is a lot more sustainable than using the ones you throw out right after.

I get mine on Amazon. They are pretty cheap for a good amount of liners. Bed Bath and Beyond also sells them as well.

TIP: before adding your blueberries to the batter, coat them in 1-2 tablespoons of flour. This helps them not all sink to the bottom. Also, if you’re using frozen blueberries, it helps the muffins not become mushy when the liquid is released from them.

Vegan butter: any vegan butter will work. You may also be able to use melted oil. However, in my opinion the butter will taste better.

Sugar: I used normal white sugar in this recipe. You can use any granulated sugar you want. Keep in mind if you use a sugar like coconut sugar it will change the color of the loaf to a more brownish color.

Nondairy milk: I used almond milk; however, any nondairy milk will work the same.

Blueberries: any fruit will work. Can be fresh or frozen.

I would not recommend substituting the applesauce or flours. They all work together to create the perfect fluffy texture. There are. Substitutions for applesauce, however, it will have a very different taste and texture.

These muffins would taste super delicious with vanilla frosting as well. You could also add a glaze made with powdered sugar and nondairy milk.
