I remember the first time I made these muffins; my kitchen was filled with the warm aroma of baked goodness, and I couldn't wait to share them with my friends.

It’s such a simple recipe, but it always brings joy to my mornings.

Plus, they’re super customizable!

I often use whatever fruits are in season or even throw in some nuts for an extra crunch.

What Makes This Recipe Special

  • Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
  • No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

Ingredients & Substitutions

I love using applesauce as a substitute for flax egg; it keeps the muffins moist and adds a hint of sweetness. Feel free to experiment with different fruits or even spices like cinnamon for a warm touch.

Tips & Notes

  • I keep mine in a glass jar on the counter for a few days, but they also freeze well if you want to save some for later.
  • Feel free to sprinkle some oats or seeds on top before baking for a nice crunch!

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes I’ll throw in dark chocolate chunks if I’m feeling fancy.
  • You can swap the blueberries for mashed bananas for a different flavor profile.

Storage & Freezing

Once they’re completely cool, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week. They also freeze beautifully—just thaw them overnight in the fridge when you're ready to enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use whole wheat flour?

Absolutely! Just know that it might change the texture slightly, making them denser.

How can I make these gluten-free?

Try using a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Just make sure it has xanthan gum for structure!

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  3. 3

    In another bowl, mix the applesauce, maple syrup, plant-based almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.

  4. 4

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Don’t overmix—it's okay if there are a few lumps!

  5. 5

    Fold in the blueberries (or your chosen fruit) until evenly distributed.

  6. 6

    Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

  7. 7

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  8. 8

    Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
