Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup plant-based milk
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
Main Flavor
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, natural gelling agent, salt, and sugar to combine and aerate the dry ingredients.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the plant-based milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract (natural) until fully blended, adding moisture and flavor to the muffins.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon. Stir just until combined; a few lumps are fine to avoid dense muffins.
- Fold in the Blueberries: Gently fold fresh blueberries into the batter, taking care not to break them to keep juicy bursts intact, resulting in beautiful fruit spots.
- Bake: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow muffins to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe blueberries for the best flavor and juiciness.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender and airy.
- Spoon flour into measuring cups rather than scooping to avoid dense muffins.
- Keep ingredients at room temperature to ensure smooth mixing and even rise.
- Optionally sprinkle sugar on top before baking for a crunchy crust.
