Variations
Fruit in Muffins
If you don't want to use blueberries, you can easily swap them out for any fruit—strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, diced apples, etc. Just use the same measurement of fruit no matter what kind you choose. Feel free to use fresh or frozen fruit.
Crumble Topping on Muffins
If you want, take the extra step and make an oat crumble or streusel to sprinkle over each muffin before baking. The crumbly topping will add an extra layer of flavor and crunch.
Nuts For Muffins
You could also stir some chopped nuts into your batter or sprinkle a few of them on top of the muffins. Pistachios, almonds, pecans, or even walnuts might be a great option.
Bakery Style Muffins
Feel free to use a larger jumbo muffin tin to make bakery-style muffins. Keep the temperature the same, but cook the muffins longer. You will know your muffins are done when a toothpick is inserted and it comes out clean.
Adding Additonal Flavors
Consider adding in some lemon juice or lemon zest—or even orange zest or juice—to add a citrus twist to the muffins.
Vegan Blueberry Muffins FAQs
How should I store muffins?
You can store your muffins loosely covered in the refrigerator. The muffins can be stored for 4–6 days. Or you can opt to freeze the muffins for around 3 months. I find that fresh fruit muffins can be stored at room temperature, but they spoil faster.
Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
If you are looking to have a gluten-free muffin recipe, you can swap out the flour. A gluten-free flour blend would be a great alternative to this recipe. Just measure properly to ensure you get the right texture for the batter.
Can I make this recipe sugar-free?
Go ahead and use a sugar alternative to replace the granulated sugar. Just make sure to measure your sweetener properly. And just as a note, some sweetener alternatives can alter the muffins' flavor a bit since the sweetener gets baked into the muffins.
