Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat pastry flour
- 0.5 cups Rolled oats
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.3 cups Maple syrup
- 0.25 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cups Fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 tablespoons Flaxseed meal
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with a non-stick spray.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the flaxseed meal and water to create a flax egg. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat pastry flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Step 4
In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk, maple syrup, applesauce, vanilla extract, and the prepared flax egg.
Step 5
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.
Step 6
Fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
Step 7
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 9
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve and enjoy your heart-healthy vegan blueberry muffins!
