Vegan Blueberry Muffins

When I was a kid I loved to bake. I loved being able to be in control of mixing the flour and adding in the ingredients. I also loved to lick the bowl at the end (I mean I haven’t yet met anyone who hasn’t). Though what I loved the most was being able to complete my baking creation, normally a cake, sometimes the occasional cookie and sharing it with others. I liked to see the delight on my younger brothers faces, as they sat down to inhale my cake or how we would end up eating too many of the cookies. I really loved to share it with everyone and as I grew up I found myself doing the same things. I believe it was the sharing aspect of a desert and the joy it brought others that made me love it. So I have now finally started to transform my love for baking into dairy free baking, and I want to share this with you!

Muffins are timeless, they are one of those simple treats that you would find on the kitchen table one lucky morning, or a nice evening treat you can make and at the end enjoy your creation. These blueberry muffins are so great, because they taste just like the ones your mom or dad used to make. The cool thing about blueberries themselves are that they are filled with antioxidants and this recipe also has an unlikely alternative for oil, so they are healthier in every way. They are also warm and soft in the middle as well making them taste just the way you used to have them and make you want more. So check out this recipe below and see how the magic begins!
