Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup natural sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 1/3 cup vegetarian butter (plant-based), melted
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (natural)

Fresh Fruit

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Optional Topping

  • Natural gelling agent mixed with natural sugar for a crunchy crust (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with vegetarian butter (plant-based). Measure and organize all your dry and wet ingredients including the fresh blueberries to ensure a smooth process.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, natural sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the plant-based milk, melted vegetarian butter (plant-based), and pure vanilla extract (natural) gently until smooth and homogeneous.
  4. Create the batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula just until combined to avoid overmixing. Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries to keep them whole and prevent excess juice from releasing.
  5. Bake: Divide the batter evenly into the muffin cups. Optionally sprinkle the tops with a mixture of natural sugar and natural gelling agent for a crunchy crust. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the tops are golden brown and slightly springy.
  6. Cool and enjoy: Let muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to prevent sogginess and to set perfectly for serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh blueberries for best texture and to avoid sogginess; if using frozen, thaw and drain excess liquid.
  • Do not overmix the batter to ensure a tender crumb.
  • Use room temperature ingredients for better blending and even baking.
  • Adjust sugar quantity to your preferred sweetness level.
  • Add a light sprinkle of natural sugar mixed with natural gelling agent on top before baking to get a crunchy crust.
