VEGAN BLUEBERRY MUFFINS
Vegan Blueberry Muffins — These are the FINEST blueberry muffins I’ve ever tasted, whether vegan or not. An avocado takes the place of the butter (and most of the oil) that you usually incorporate into muffin batter. They are soft, damp, and incredibly simple to prepare!
These are the finest blueberry muffins I've ever tasted. Full stop. They’re likely the healthiest and coincidentally vegan — I enjoy when situations align like this!
And it touches on some sneaky kitchen tricks. An avocado substitutes for any butter usually used in muffins and nearly all of the oil, except for 1/3 cup. No need to be concerned, the avocado flavor is undetectable, or at least it was to us. I utilized a California Hass avocado grown locally, and my family couldn't notice the difference.
Similar to the Fudgy Avocado Brownies I prepared last week, the avocado in these muffins adds richness, creaminess, and moisture without affecting the flavor noticeably.
These blueberry muffins made at home are quick and simple to prepare, with no mixer necessary. They drew inspiration from my Fluffy Vegan Banana Muffins. In numerous vegan quickbreads and muffins, bananas act like eggs, uniting, aerating, and hydrating the batter, and in this case, a very ripe avocado performs similarly.
I enjoy banana bread and anything related to bananas, but not everyone shares that love, so I excluded them from these vegan muffins. I also wanted authentic vegan blueberry muffins, not banana with blueberries. These muffins are airy, light, and bouncy without eggs, yet they still have a satisfying density.
They’re the fluffiest blueberry muffins I’ve ever tasted, even without any butter. Adore those avocado-derived plant oils!
I increased the moisture and tenderness further by incorporating vegan sour cream. The blueberries are plentiful and succulent. Coating the berries with tablespoons of flour prior to incorporating them into the batter helps stop them from sinking.
Instructions for Preparing Vegan Blueberry Muffins
Set the oven to 400F to heat up. Next, thoroughly mash the avocado in a big mixing bowl. Incorporate the granulated sugar, oil, vegan Greek yogurt or sour cream, light brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Beat to mix.
In that same bowl, incorporate the flour and baking powder, and mix until just blended. You should avoid over mixing the batter, or else your muffins will become dense!
Why Decrease the Oven Temperature Midway?
A high starting temperature in the oven aids in producing steam and provides a good rise to baked items (this method is effective not only for vegan muffins but also for bread and any other items you wish to dome). However, if you allow these muffins to bake at such a high temperature throughout their time in the oven, you risk charring the outer part of the muffins while leaving the center undercooked.
In a tiny bowl, mix the blueberries with a couple of tablespoons of flour, then carefully incorporate them into the vegan muffin mixture.
Distribute the batter equally into 12 muffin cups. Bake the homemade blueberry muffins at 400°F for 10 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and continue baking for an additional 15 to 17 minutes, or until the muffins are fully cooked.
Suggestions for the Finest Blueberry Muffins
I utilized frozen blueberries for these vegan blueberry muffins, though fresh berries will certainly suffice. You might have to shorten the baking time by a couple of minutes, though. Just watch the muffins as they bake. When they're done and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, they are ready to be taken out of the oven.
Keep in mind that if you’re using frozen berries, incorporate them into the batter while they are still frozen — do not let them thaw! This stops them from bleeding, running, and falling apart as much.
Additionally, this is an excellent recipe for utilizing any (over)ripe avocados that might be nearing their expiration. It is similar to utilizing overly ripe bananas for baking banana bread. Overripe avocados mash effortlessly and are sweeter as well, similar to bananas.

Combine as one sugar, canola oil, lemon zing, and vanilla concentrate. Add soymilk/vinegar combination and mix to join. Mix in the dry fixings until very much joined. Be mindful so as not to overmix - a couple of knots are alright. Crease in blueberries.
Spoon into biscuit tins, filling each cup about ¾ full. Prepare for 20-25 minutes until a blade embedded in the center tells the truth. Baked-parmesan-crusted-salmon.
