    Fresh blueberries, Soft tall muffins and a simple streusel. Simple, and perfect.

    These classic blueberry muffins have all the things you want in a muffin. A super tall rise, because who likes muffins that dont rise enough or fall after baking! Just the right amount of berries, and a streusel that brings it all together. The streusel keeps the muffins moist by reducing the moisture loss from the top. The flour tossed fresh berries stay right in place and don’t sink to the bottom. Some lime zest brightens up the flavor!

    If you make these, do let me know how they turned out!

    Ingredients for Vegan Blueberry Muffins

    • The blueberry muffin batter uses non dairy milk, some non dairy yogurt, vinegar, sugar, vanilla extract and oil as the wet ingredients.
    • Non dairy yogurt helps the muffin stay soft and moist. You can use applesauce instead of non dairy yogurt as well.
    • Dry ingredients include flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and lime zest.
    • Fresh blueberries are tossed in flour and mixed in just before baking. The flour keeps the berries from sinking.
    • To use frozen berries: Wash the berries to remove excess juices, then toss in flour and add to the batter
    • The Streusel has flour, sugar and oil or vegan butter
    • To make the muffins Gluten-free: Mix 3/4 cup white rice flour, 1 1/4 cup almond flour, 1/3 cup potato starch, and 1 tbsp chia seeds/flax seed meal. Use 1 3/4 cup of the flour mix and add more as needed.
    • To make the muffin Oil-free: Substitute the oil in the batter with 2 tbsp applesauce. For the streusel, use smooth softened nut butter

    How to make Vegan Blueberry Muffins and Step Pictures

    Make the streusel: Mix the flour and sugar, then add oil and mix to make fat crumbs.

    Streusel ingredients for our Vegan Blueberry Muffins in bowls Streusel for our Vegan Blueberry Muffins in a white bowl

    Line a muffin pan. Preheat the oven to 400 deg F (204 deg C). In a bowl, mix in the wet ingredients until the sugar is fully combined. In another bowl, whisk 1 3/4 cup flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add spices of choice if you like. See GF option in Notes below. (Optional: Add 2 tbsp almond flour to the dry for additional texture).
    Fold the dry into the wet until just about combined. Add more flour if needed 1 tbsp at a time to make just slightly thick batter (you might not need any depending on the flours used).

      Will almond flour work well for the streusel or would it burn?

      So good! I left of the streusel topping and they were lovely without it. I also used wholemeal flour and they worked out fine.

      I made the gluten free version of this recipe and they turned out amazingly well. I’m used to gf muffins being dense and gross and these are light and fluffy. Thank you so much! I put in 1 1/2 cups of frozen blueberries and they turned out great! I’m now looking forward to making other types of gf muffins. It’s like a whole new world for me!

      Hi Richa
      These look amazing! If I want to make some of your other baked recipes, would the gluten free option that you’ve mentioned here (rice flour, almond flour, potato starch and flax meal) work? And can the potato starch be substituted with tapioca or Arrowroot flour?
      Thanks 🙏🏽

          Thank you Richa. Unfortunately, I cannot eat oats (including gluten free oats). So what would work best instead of oats – white rice flour or sorghum or almond or anything else? I don’t prefer pre packed gf flours, hence I’m asking. Thank you 😊

      I would change nothing, they were exceptional! Perfect texture, nice and moist, ample amounts of blueberries. I used applesauce instead of oil as suggested. Definitely making these again.

      These muffins are so wonderful! The only tweak I made was leaving out the lime zest and instead adding 1/2 tsp. of cinnamon to the batter and another 1/2 tsp. to the streusel. I’ve been trying to find just the right blueberry muffin recipe, and this is it! The texture of both the muffin and the streusel are perfect, with the right amount of sweetness. I will make these often, and also be sure to try the lime version.

      These are the absolute BEST vegan blueberry muffins! Followed your recipe exactly using everything I had: subbed an additional 2T fresh made almond milk since I didn”t have yogurt and used all Spelt flour since I had that. Happy to use the lemon zest I froze from lemon season. Honestly- these simply are the best blueberry muffins Ive ever made. Thank you!

      These were amazing! Even better than a non vegan recipe I used to use. I used applesauce, refined coconut oil, a whole tbsp of vanilla , I skipped the lime and for the crumble brown sugar and reg flour and coconut flour and reg coconut oil. I made 6 jumbo muffins and baked for and extra 5 mins. I’m addicted! So moist. Thank you for your wonderful recipes!

        Did they rise during baking and then flat, were they gummy inside? Could be a few things going on here. 1/ Check your baking powder to make sure it is not too old 2/ Batter could have extra moistures 3/ Frozen blueberries if used could thaw more moisture in there.

        May be add more flour, use fresh berries. let me know.

          You were right! I tried again and they were perfect. This time fresh not frozen blueberries. Plus I added a little more flour and the batter was slighter thicker. So happy with them! Thanks for your advice. Really appreciate it. Keep up the amazing work xx

      Ooh, these muffins! They look absolutely fabulous. Had no idea that your addition of lime zest would just add the most perfect tartiness and acid into the batch. Oh and thank you for the tip on the frozen blueberries! I used to bake with them a lot but they’d turn my pancakes or muffins blue!
