Vegan Blueberry Muffins

This past Sunday I had asked you all to help me decide on a new recipe. I asked everyone if they would like a new chocolate chip muffin recipe or blueberry and the combination of the two was so popular I made a chocolate blueberry muffin. So many people were asking for blueberry later that day though, that I decided to create a blueberry muffin recipe to share with you all. Today is the perfect day too because there is only one muffin left from Sunday's baking. I really hope you give this recipe a try. They are moist, delicious, easy to make and your house will smell lovely!!! 


Vegan Blueberry Muffins

~Makes 16 regular sized muffins~

Ingredients: 

2 cups Unbleached all purpose flour 

1 tbs ground cinnamon 

2 tsp baking powder 

1/2 tsp baking soda

Pinch of kosher salt 

1 1/4 cups organic sugar 

1/2 cup vegan butter (I use Earth Balance)

1 tsp organic vanilla 

2 flax eggs (2tbs ground flax meal mixed with 6tbs water, let set for 5 minutes before use)

1/2 cup non dairy milk (I used unsweetened plain almond milk. You can use vanilla almond milk just note it will be a  sweeter so you might want to cut out the extra 1/4 cup of sugar in the recipe. That is unless you have a sweet tooth)

1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries 

Topping:

1/4 cup Organic sugar

1 tsp Ground cinnamon

Mix in a small bowl

Directions: 

Preheat oven to 375*F

Line your muffin pan or grease and flour well.

In a small bowl make your flax eggs by mixing together 2 tbs ground flax meal and 6 tbs water. Set aside for at least five minutes.


In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.


In a large bowl cream together the butter, sugar and vanilla. Mix in the flax eggs and milk. 


Fold in the dry ingredients. 


Stir in the blueberries.



Spoon your batter into the prepared muffin pan. I like to use an ice cream scoop for this step.


Sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar onto each muffin.


Bake 15-20 minutes or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.


Allow to cool before removing from the pan. 

I hope you enjoy!!
