It's unbelievable that these light and airy easy blueberry muffins are made with vinegar and not eggs.
Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400F/200C (see My Notes) for 15 minutes. Lightly grease a muffin tin.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, and orange zest.
  3. Combine the sugar, milk, oil, extract, and vinegar in a large bowl. Mix well.
  4. Add the dry and wet ingredients to stir until just combined. Don't over-stir.
  5. Gently fold in the berries using a rubber spatula.
  6. Fill the muffin tins about 2/3rds full.
  7. Bake at 400F for about 15 minutes, reduce the temperature to 375F and bake for another 7-8 minutes or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. After that remove the muffins from the tins and cool on a wire rack.
Taste & Texture
  1. these vegan blueberry muffins have the best airy and fluffy texture that is hard to find in any other vegan muffin recipe on par with a recipe that uses eggs. You have got to try it to believe it. The sweetness is perfect for us because we don't prefer very sweet muffins. You may have to increase the quantity of sugar for sweeter muffins.
My Notes:
  1. A few years back I learned that baking the muffins at a higher temperature at first and then reducing the temperature at the end gives nice dome-shaped muffins just like the ones you can buy from a bakery. Since I knew this trick, I have been following it for my muffin recipes, and it works.
  2. Regarding sugar, the original recipe itself mentions 3/4 to 1 cup. I have experimented using 3/4th to 1.25 cups of sugar. A 3/4th cup is perfect for people like us who don't want their muffins to be very sweet. So adjust the quantity of sugar accordingly, especially if you think the blueberries you are using are sour.
  3. If using frozen blueberries, thawing is unnecessary. Add it to the muffin batter directly from the freezer, but do not over-mix it, or it will start bleeding. I have tried this recipe with fresh and frozen blueberries and haven't found any difference at all.
  4. Even though the recipe suggests 1 and 1/2 cups of blueberries, I find that it's a little too much depending on the size of the blueberries. A couple of times I have ended up having more blueberries than muffins. So I tend to use just 3/4th-1 cup of blueberries most of the time. 3/4th cup if it's bigger size berries and 1 cup if it's the tiny wild blueberry variety.
