Amazing Blueberry Muffins that are VEGAN! perfectly moist with a crunchy top! great for breakfast or an afternoon snack with some coffee!
ya know that muffin? the one that tastes so perfect with a cup of coffee? yeahhh you know what I'm talking about now! ...
well lately THIS Amazing Blueberry Muffin has been my weekness! the perfect flavor and textures just make a morning (or in my case afternoon) cup of coffee that much more savory!
there are a lot of things I enjoy but I have to say, some quiet + quality time spent visiting over a cup of coffee and some sweet goodies has got to be one of my top favorites!
what are you favorite sweets to enjoy with coffee?
this summer has been wonderful! our garden has had a couple complications lol an update is coming on wednesday but basically live and learn and GET BIGGER POTS NEXT YEAR! 😉 it's ok though, we still had a great amount of produce!
and I don't think I have mentioned this at all this year but we have been rollerblading the pupperz again this summer! our Jack Russell Kooper = too much energy that we must tire him out more often 😉
and our Jack Russell chihuahua mix Kush ... bit different story, you say car ride and he's all game for that but you say walk or rollerblade HA he says you gotta catch me first!
both them definitely keep life interesting! ... this is what they look like after a walk or rollerblade! LOL Kooper is all chillaxed and Kush is bummbed it wasn't a car ride! but usually when we get back from a walk I give him ice cubes he LOVES to chew them up! not sure it's actually good for them but he likes it!
anyways on to the muffins! the top has the perfect amount of crunch and the center is SO moist and soft!
I put extra sugar on the top to give it more texture so you get the crunchy muffin top texture paired with the sugary sweetness!
and when you bit into a blueberry... OMGEEE it's like a burst of flavor! now in my opinion blueberries aren't as sweet as some other fruits but they have their own unique flavor, kinda fresh, kinda sweet, a little bit gooey once it's baked and a whole lotta pretty color!
I'm a ... eat the muffin top first kinda girl 😉 what about you? top or bottom first? do you have a favorite?
anyways, I hope you try these and LOVE them as much as we did... I mean I made a couple batches of these babies 😉 let me know what you think!!!

Notes
these are notes that readers have let me know they swapped ingredients for and it was still a success, I have not personally tried them but I wanted to make a note of them anyways, please do not try to use all of these substitutions at once as each update is from a different person NOT all three substitutions at the same time!
UPDATE: Priscilla AKA: plantbased__babe on Instagram let me know that she tried this recipe with Spelt flour and it worked great! you can check it out here!
UPDATE: a reader let me know she used soy yogurt in place of applesauce and it turned out great for her! I have not personally tried it but I just wanted to add this note!
UPDATE: a reader let me know she used coconut oil instead of butter and it turned out good! I have not personally tried it but I just wanted to make this note.

Can you substitute coconut milk instead of almond milk?! 🙂
tworaspberries
I think that should be totally fine! as long as you do NOT use the kind from the can. It will probably alter the taste a little bit but if you are already used to the flavor of coconut milk then it should taste perfectly delicious! I hope you give them try and love them! 😉
Jessica
Just made these for my kiddos for breakfast. I used a mini muffin tin and they loved them!!! Thanks so much for the recipe!

I made these this morning to surprise my vegan daughter. She will enjoy them as an afternoon snack 🙂
They are very good. I have to admit I forgot the applesauce (oops!) but they still turned out delicious.
We have a Jack-chi and he is the smartest dog I have ever had 🙂

I hope she did too 😉 and HA good to know that it still taste good and didn't fall apart without the applesauce! also I totally agree our Jack-Chi is super smart too! he has a little bit of attitude but very smart! hope you had a great weekend and thanks for commenting!!! 😉
Krystle
Hi!! These look soooo goood!! I want to try it but i cant find any vegan butter here.. is there any good substitute you can recomend? Thank you
★★★★★
tworaspberries
Hi Krystle! 😉 unfortunately I have never tried anything other than vegan butter in these muffins, are you vegan? because if you aren't regular butter would sub the same as vegan butter (I use vegan butter because I eat vegan) ... ALSO I do know that a lot of people sub coconut oil for butter in baking recipes... so that would be something you could try... but if you do try that be sure to melt the coconut oil before adding it to the recipe! 😉
let me know if you try them 😉
have a great weekend!
Elizabeth
Substituted melted coconut oil for vegan butter. These were great!

YAYYY I am SO happy it worked and you liked it!!! thanks for commenting and letting me know too 😉
Deborah
I've tried this recipe a couple of times and the muffins were absolutely amazing!! Quick question: can I use unsweetened soy milk in place of almond milk?
tworaspberries
Thanks so much! I am SO glad you like them 😉 ... and I have never actually tried it with soy milk but I am almost certain that it will be fine! obviously almond milk and soy milk taste different so it may change the taste very slightly, but I wouldn't expect it to be anything to worry about! hope that helps! have a wonderful day 😉

Thanks so much for the comment and for sharing it on your blog too! I check it out, the pictures are beautiful, also love the tip about putting the parchment liner, great idea!!! I'm so glad you liked them! 😉 hope you had a wonderful day!
Pippa
Hi - these were delicious and my hubby loved them. Quick question - I used muffin cases and hubby commented that they were cooked but soft. Less blueberries and no cases next time? Your thoughts please?
tworaspberries
Hi! 😉 so I personally haven't tried these muffins with muffin wrappers but from other recipes I have used the wrappers on, I do know that they don't brown the edges the same, similar to a cupcake... it prevents the edges from becoming cooked and keeps them more soft and moist like the center of a cake... try just using cooking spray instead of liners next time!
also be sure to let them cool completely (at least 30 minutes) before removing them to let them finish cooling another 10 minutes or so, the reason for this is because it's such a light and airy muffin if you don't let it cool completely it may actually be too moist!
I hope this helps and hopefully you try them again with out the liners and letting them cool completely (if you didn't?)
have a wonderful day! 😉
