Packed with blueberries and lemon in every bite! These delicious soft muffins are the perfect vegan healthy snack!
Best Vegan Blueberry Muffins
I am one of those Mom’s. You know, the kind that gets emotional when the season shifts to preparing for the start of a new school year. There is just something about making a batch of the Best Blueberry Muffins and sending them along in my son’s lunch that gives him a little piece of home while he’s away at school.
Blueberry Muffins just have this special way of welcoming new neighbors, comforting someone who needs cheer, fitting in perfectly at picnics, and being just the thing you need for a snack!
The soft batter with juicy blueberries and lemon juice swirled into it make for a really pleasant muffin eating experience. There is something about the great flavor that really makes you slow down and savor these!
This is one of my families all-time favorite recipes. Nobody will even notice they are vegan! If you love blueberries as much as we do, make sure to try this Easy Vegan Blueberry Crisp or this No Churn Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream, too!
What You’ll Need:
- 1 cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
- 1 tsp + 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 2 cups Flour
- 2 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/4 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp Sugar
- 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp Oil
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 cups Fresh Blueberries
How to Make the Best Blueberry Muffins
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a muffin tin with baking cups.
- In a small bowl, combine 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk and 1 tsp lemon juice. Set aside and allow the milk to curdle. By the time you are done combining the rest of the ingredients, the milk will be ready!
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, 2 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp baking soda, and 1/2 tsp salt. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, mix together 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp sugar, 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp oil, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. After well mixed, add the milk mixture and stir to combine.
- Stir in the dry ingredients until well mixed. Don’t over mix, lumps are okay.
- Gently fold in blueberries.
- Spoon into muffin cups evenly, right to the top. Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and allow muffins to cool before removing from the pan.
Recipe Notes:
- Lemon Juice – You could swap the 1 tbsp lemon juice for lemon zest if you’d like.
- Blueberries – You can use fresh or frozen blueberries.
- Don’t Over Bake – If a toothpick doesn’t come out clean after 20 minutes of baking, add an additional minute and then check again with a toothpick. Only add time in increments of one minute. This will help to make sure you don’t over bake the muffins. You want to make sure they have a fluffy texture!
- Quantity – The number of muffins you get out of this batch will vary. It just depends on how full you fill the cups with batter. I prefer to fill mine right to the top. This gives my muffins fluffy, round tops!
- Freezing – These freeze well in a freezer safe bag.

I made these today using a gluten-free mix and they were amazing! My family loved them. I think the lemon zest really sets them apart. Thank you!

Thank you so much for the great recipe! My husband and I were so pleased with these muffins as they have great flavor without being deathly sweet, and have a wonderful light- fluffy consistency. I was thrilled that these muffins don’t call for eggs or an egg substitute and can be mixed up very quickly. Thanks again for a great recipe that is going into my recipe box as a “tried and true” favorite! (I will post a picture if I can figure out how)
