Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoon water
  • 1 ¾ cups all purpose flour
  • ¾ cup white granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • zest of 2 lemons about 1 tbsp
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • ½ tablespoon lemon extract
  • ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • ¼ cup nondairy milk
  • ½ cup melted vegan butter can substitute coconut oil
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  • First, preheat oven to 400F and prepare two muffin tins with liners.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the ground flaxseed and water to make your vegan "egg." Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and lemon zest.
  • To the bowl with the flaxseed mixture, add in your vanilla and lemon extracts, lemon juice, nondairy milk, and melted butter. Whisk it all together to combine.
  • Now, gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient bowl. Fold gently to combine - do NOT overmix!
  • Finally, toss in your blueberries. Pro tip - toss them with a spoonful of flour before adding them to the batter to prevent them from sinking down. Gently fold the blueberries into the muffin batter.
  • Fill your prepared muffin liners about ¾ of the way with your batter. You should be able to get about 16 muffins.
  • Bake in your preheated oven for 17-20 minutes, until golden brown and puffy. Let cool slightly, and enjoy!
