With my blog being called Vegan Blueberry, I couldn't not have a blueberry muffins recipe on here, could I?? These Vegan Blueberry Muffins are light, fluffy, almost cake-like, and are made in one bowl with just a few basic baking ingredients.
They can be made with fresh or frozen blueberries and are the perfect snack or sweet treat for the whole family.
Easy blueberry muffins
This is a basic blueberry muffin recipe, made with plant-based milk and egg-free. I didn't use any egg substitute for these muffins, because sometimes you just don't need to. I wanted to keep the ingredients and the process steps simple.
These muffins puff up so nice in the oven thanks to a little baking powder and all-purpose flour. This means you can make egg-free muffins without any flax seed egg or other vegan egg substitutes.
The muffins come out cake-like, with the perfect light crumb. They freeze well and make a great hand-held portable snack for kids and adults.
I hope you give them a try!

Is it possible to turn this into a Blueberry Loaf made in a loaf pan? How much time dop you think it would take?
Kate
Yes definitely! Depending on the exact dimensions of your loaf pan, it can take anywhere between 40 minutes - 1 hour. Check on the loaf after about 40 minutes and CAREFULLY cover it with foil if the top is getting brown.
Rachael
Can the oil be replaced with Extra Virgin Olive Oil?
Kate
Yes, of course! Olive oil muffins and sweet breads are delicious. It will change the flavor a little, it'll have a slight savory undertone.
Dana
