Recipe: Vegan Blueberry Muffins

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any unsweetened plant-based milk)
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
• Optional: Zest of 1 lemon for extra flavor

Instructions:

Preparing the Batter:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the unsweetened almond milk, vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil), and vanilla extract. Mix until thoroughly combined.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
5. Gently fold in the blueberries and lemon zest, if using. If you’re using frozen blueberries, you can add them directly to the batter without thawing.

Filling and Baking:

6. Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Cooling and Serving:

8. Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
