    Gluten-Free Vegan Blueberry Muffins Ingredients

    So, with some simple swaps, you've got just the muffin you need. This recipe is whole grain, naturally sweetened, and incredibly easy. Here's the major ingredients:

    • Almond flour
    • Gluten-free oat flour
    • Ground flaxseed
    • Unsweetened almond milk
    • Lemon juice
    • Maple syrup
    • Olive oil
    • Vanilla extract
    • Fresh blueberries

    Almond flour

    The use of almond flour in this recipe is two-fold. It makes for a delicate crumb while also providing a good dose of protein.

    Gluten-free oat flour

    Adding fiber, antioxidants, and more protein to the mix, oat flour supplies the whole grain goodness.

    Maple syrup

    No white sugar in these muffins. Maple syrup makes these easy blueberry muffins just the right amount of sweet. 

    Unsweetened almond milk

    With a little lemon juice added to your almond milk, the result is a dairy-free way to get that buttermilk flavor.

    Ingredients

    • 2 flax eggs (2 tablespoons ground flaxseed + 6 tablespoons water)
    • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
    • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
    • 1 cup fresh blueberries rinsed and dried
    • 1 cup + 1 teaspoon gluten-free oat flour 100 g
    • 2 cups almond flour 210 g
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ½ cup maple syrup
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    • 2-3 tablespoons raw cane sugar optional

    Instructions

    • Prepare your flax eggs in a small bowl or cup and set aside. Add the one tablespoon of lemon juice to the cup of unsweetened almond milk, stir, and set aside. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 12-tin muffin tray with paper liners.
    • In a small bowl, place blueberries and 1 teaspoon oat flour. Gently stir until all blueberries are coated. Set aside.
    • Place almond flour, oat flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk to evenly combine ingredients. Add the maple syrup, olive oil, vanilla extract, flax eggs, and almond milk mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir until thoroughly combined and all ingredients are moistened. Gently fold in your blueberries.
    • Using a ¼ measuring cup, evenly divide muffin batter amongst muffin tins. Fill tins about ⅔ of the way full. If using, sprinkle tops with raw cane sugar. Bake for 25-29 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
    • Remove blueberry muffins from oven and place tray on a wire cooling rack. Allow to cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or in the refrigerator 3-4 days.

      These look amazing! Can I substitute a mixture of almond and arrowroot powder in place of the oat flour? How can I make this recipe grain-free?
