Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

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

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup plant-based milk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)

Main Add-ins

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it to keep your muffins from sticking.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and natural gelling agent until well blended, ensuring even distribution for a perfect rise.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the plant-based milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract (natural) until smooth and combined.
  4. Blend Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold everything together just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep muffins tender and airy.
  5. Fold in Blueberries: Carefully fold fresh blueberries into the batter, making sure they are evenly spread without breaking them. This keeps the batter light and the blueberries intact.
  6. Fill Muffin Tins: Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full to allow room for expansion while baking.
  7. Bake and Cool: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Use fresh blueberries for best texture; thaw and drain if using frozen.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense muffins.
  • Ensure oven temperature is accurate for consistent baking.
  • Use room temperature plant-based milk and oil for better mixing.
  • Follow natural gelling agent quantity closely for perfect moisture and rise.
