Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup oat flour (gluten-free if needed)
  • 1 cup gluten-free flour blend (or regular flour)
  • 1.5 tsp baking powder
  • 0.25 tsp baking soda
  • 0.25 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 0.75 cup plant-based milk (of choice)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (or lime juice)
  • 0.33 cup maple syrup
  • 2.5 tbsp oil
  • 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1.5 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen) Do not thaw if using frozen.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 360°F (180°C). Line a muffin pan with paper liners or grease the pan.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the plant-based milk and lemon juice together. Stir and let it sit for a few minutes to make vegan buttermilk.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, add all the dry ingredients. Whisk them together until well combined.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula or whisk until combined, but do not overmix. Gently fold in the blueberries.
Baking
  1. Divide the batter equally among the muffin wells, enough for about 8 muffins.
  2. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the tops are cracked. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean or slightly crumbly, but not wet.
Serving
  1. Allow the muffins to cool. Serve as is, or with vegan butter or nut butter for an extra treat. A sprinkle of powdered sugar on top can enhance presentation.
  2. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5-6 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes

Let the batter sit for 5-10 minutes before baking to allow the flour to hydrate. For a bakery-style muffin, start baking at 400°F (200°C) for the first 5 minutes, then lower the temperature to 375°F (190°C).
