Best Vegan Blueberry Muffins

  • Recipe Submitted by on

 Ingredients List

  • flesh from 1 ripe to very ripe medium/large Hass avocado, mashed very well (about 3/4 cup)
  • 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup canola or vegetable oil (melted coconut oil may be substituted)
  • 1/3 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream (use vegan versions if desired)
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • pinch salt, optional and to taste
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen blueberries (keep them frozen, do not thaw them; fresh berries may be substituted and baking time may be a few minutes less)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, for tossing berries

 Directions

Preheat oven to 400F. Spray a non-stick muffin pan with floured cooking spray, or grease and flour the pan; set aside. (I prefer cosmetically to not use liners, and they could stick to muffins; have not tested liners with this recipe)
In a large mixing bowl, mash the avocado very well. Tip – The riper the avocado, the sweeter it will be and easier it’ll mash.
Add the granulated sugar, oil, Greek yogurt or sour cream, light brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, optional salt, and whisk to combine.
Add 1 cup flour, baking powder, and stir until just combined; don’t overmix. Set bowl aside.
In a small bowl, toss blueberries with 2 tablespoons flour, which prevents them from sinking as much while baking.
Gently fold blueberries into batter along with any flour that didn’t adhere. If using frozen berries, add them into the batter frozen, do not thaw. This prevents them from bleeding, running, and breaking apart as much.
Divide batter evenly among 12-cups in prepared pan. Each cavity should be filled between 2/3 and 3/4 full. Do not exceed 3/4 full, or muffins could overflow while baking. If you have extra batter, make a 13th muffin or sample the batter – it’s vegan and safe.
Bake at 400F for 10 minutes.
Lower the oven temperature to 350F and bake for another 15 to 17 minutes, or until muffins are done. Note – if using fresh berries, your baking time could be a few minutes less. Muffins are done when domed, golden, springy to the touch, and a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean, or with a few moist crumbs, but no batter. I baked for 15 minutes after lowering the temp, for a total of 25 minutes and used frozen berries.
Allow muffins to cool in pan for about 10 minutes before removing.
