Vegan Blueberry Muffins!
Ready to serve fresh out of the oven in about 30 minutes!
Know what I haven’t made in forever?
Muffins. Of any kind.
Everyone loves them but I think I tend to forget how quick and easy they are to make.
Today though, I decided to combine our homeschool math lesson of fraction reading with a baking project. All involved agreed this was a genius idea.
So, with our assignment in mind, we set out to create a quick, easy, and tasty morning snack.
We started with a basic non-dairy batter then added frozen fruit just before baking.
Blueberries seemed like a good choice and we happened to have some in the freezer but, really, I think other fruits would work equally as well.
I’m giving us an A+ for today!

This really is a great muffin recipe. I try all sorts of vegan baking recipes and this is my go-to for muffins. I even use the recipe and switch out the blueberries for different ingredients because I know they’ll turn out good.
thiswifecooks
Awesome! Thank you so much! 🙂

Have you ever tried coconut milk instead of almond milk? Our family is allergic to almond.

Hi Tammy! I have not tried this recipe with coconut milk but I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t work just fine. 🙂
Amanda
Can I use vanilla extract if I don’t have vanilla bean paste?
thiswifecooks
Yes! An equal amount of vanilla extract can be swapped for the vanilla bean paste.
Anna Brewer
Loved these muffins! I used raspberries instead of blueberries and swapped about 1/2 cup of them for chocolate chips. Overall I think there were slightly too many add ins, but apart from reducing that slightly will definitely be making these again!
thiswifecooks
Thanks, Anna! Chocolate raspberry muffins sound yummy! 🙂
Stefanie
So yummy! Used vanilla extract in place of bean paste. Dusted frozen blueberries w flour so they didn’t bleed. New favorite in our house! Kids love em.
thiswifecooks
I’m so glad you enjoyed the muffins! Good tip for using flour on the blueberries. 🙂
Kay
This recipe is delicious
Easy too
Every time I make these …..grab one quickly as they’re gone very quickly
thiswifecooks
Thank you so much! They don’t last long around here either! 🙂

My daughter and I made these today with fresh blueberries and we swapped the almond milk for oat milk, because that’s what we had. We used cupcake liners that we sprayed so we wouldn’t loose too much muffin removing the papers. We also scraped vanilla beans for the vanilla. We made one with just batter to taste the base muffin. They’re fantastic!! Talk about an easy recipe. It truly just uses ingredients we have on hand, and, with some of the other comments, I can see swapping out all or part of the blueberries for something else, like raspberry and blueberry muffins! Thank you for this great recipe. I’ve got it printed to go in a page protector for our regular/favorite recipes book!

Such an amazing texture and taste, normally when I make vegan muffins they are a dark brown color and either really dense or really dry! i swap the vegetable oil out for 1 1/2 cups of mashed banana and make banana and blueberry muffins! They are so yummy and the recipe is versatile.

Hi Olivia! Thank you so much! Banana and blueberry sounds like a great flavor combination! I’m glad to know the mashed banana works well. 🙂
Teresa
Delicious! Instead of the vinegar I used the juice of half a lemon and the whole lemon zested. Great easy recipe and a keeper.
thiswifecooks
Ooh, I like the lemon! Good idea!
