Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup natural brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 cup plant-based milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Main Ingredient
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients: Combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, natural brown sugar, salt, and natural gelling agent in a large mixing bowl. Whisk thoroughly to evenly distribute all ingredients for a smooth batter.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together plant-based milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract (natural), and fresh lemon zest until fully combined, infusing moisture and flavor into the batter.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently fold until just combined. Take care not to overmix to maintain tender, light muffins.
- Fold in Fresh Blueberries: Carefully fold fresh blueberries into the batter to keep them whole and evenly distributed, adding natural bursts of fruity sweetness.
- Fill Muffin Pan and Bake: Spoon the batter into a lined or lightly oiled muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until muffin tops are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Notes
- Use fresh blueberries for optimal flavor and texture; frozen may make batter watery.
- Do not overmix batter to avoid tough muffins.
- Bring plant-based milk and oil to room temperature before mixing for better texture.
- Coat blueberries lightly in flour before folding them in to prevent sinking.
- Begin checking muffins for doneness at 20 minutes to avoid overbaking.
