Notes
Secrets to Success
- I recommend using muffin liners for this vegan blueberry muffin recipe, as it is a recipe that does not require oil to make. Using paper liners also makes it very easy to pack on the go. Otherwise, grease your muffin tin or flour it up!
- I also wanted to point out that you can use either fresh OR frozen blueberries. Whatever is accessible for you will work, and you can use a heavy hand or a light hand on the fruit depending on how juicy you like it. Aside from flavor, the juicy blueberries add such a vibrant color to these breakfast muffins and the walnuts add a great crunchy texture.
- If you're not a fan of blueberries, you can play with blackberries, and if you're not a fan of walnuts, opt for another nut, seed or feel free to leave it out completely! You can also check out this Raspberry Lemon Poppyseed Muffin recipe if you prefer something a little more zesty.
- The base of this vegan muffin recipe is quite versatile– you can play around with the recipe to add sweet flavors like banana and chocolate chips, or bright citrus flavors like lemon juice or lemon zest, etc.
- If desired, you can sprinkle a little coconut sugar, brown sugar, or coarse cane sugar to the top of each muffin before baking.
