Notes
Do not use muffin liner (it will stick too much, just spray or grease the muffin tin).
I do not recommend swapping non-dairy milk for regular dairy milk in this muffin because we used non-dairy milk with ACV to make a “buttermilk” if you use regular dairy milk it could be too acidic and not work well.
I do not recommend making these into mini blueberry muffins, it’s not the right texture for that.
Avoid over mixing the batter, about 20-30 folds with a spatula should get everything pretty well incorporated. The batter should be slightly bubbly and airy and a little lumpy. It should not be smooth like a cake or cupcake batter.
I have used Earth Balance and Miyokos butter for this recipe and both work great.
Butter is measured using the “dry cup method”, meaning use a dry measuring cup add the butter firmly packed down and level the top off smooth, scoop out of the measuring cup and place in a microwave safe bowl to melt it.
Tossing the blueberries in some flour helps prevent them from all falling to the bottom of the batter.
Place on the middle shelf! if you put it on the top shelf the top will get burned and the bottom shelf will result in a hard burnt bottom.
