Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
2cupsall-purpose flour
1 and ½teaspoonsbaking soda
½teaspoonsalt
1teaspoonorange zestor lemon zest
¾ to 1cupgranulated sugar
1 to 1 and ½cupsfresh or frozen blueberries
Wet Ingredients
1cup non-dairy milknon-dairy milk
⅓cupoilany neutral flavor oil
1teaspoonvanilla extractor orange extract
1tablespoonapple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400F/200C (see My Notes) for 15 minutes. Line the muffin tin with paper liners and lightly grease it with non-stick cooking spray.
In a small bowl toss blueberries with a tablespoon of flour and set aside. This prevents the blueberries sinking to the bottom of the muffins.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt.
In another large bowl combine the sugar, milk, oil, extract, orange zest and vinegar. Mix well.
Add the dry mix into the wet ingredients to stir until just combined. Don't over-stir.
Gently fold in the berries using a rubber spatula.
Fill the muffin tins about ⅔rds full.
Bake at 400F for about 8-10 minutes, reduce the temperature to 375F and bake for another 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes on a wire rack. After that remove the muffins from the tins and let it cool completely.
Notes
I have made this recipe multiple times and sometimes I mix all the dry ingredients together including the sugar, make a well and add in the wet ingredients one after the other. This method works too.
I usually use ¾ cup of sugar for a lightly sweet muffin, but if you prefer a sweeter, more traditional bakery-style muffins, you can increase it to 1 cup. Adjust to suit your preference!
I prefer using 1 cup of blueberries, especially if they’re on the larger side, as I don’t like too many berries in each bite. If you love more bursts of blueberry flavor, you can increase the amount up to 1½ cups based on your taste!
If using paper liners, lightly grease them with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Also, let the muffins cool completely before peeling off the wrapper for a clean release.
Taste & Texture
These vegan blueberry muffins are light, fluffy, and perfectly moist. The blueberries add bursts of juicy sweetness, while the hint of citrus brightens the flavor. They have a soft, tender crumb with a bakery-style domed top—deliciously satisfying without being too dense or heavy.
