Why Make These Dairy Free Blueberry Muffins

Well, for starters they don’t have unnecessary added dairy to them. You can make these muffins easily without any lactose! They are moist and fluffy on the inside and bursting with blueberries throughout. You can choose your topping on them. I like to do some oats and sugar to give them texture, but you can omit if you’d like.

Ingredients Needed

Some of these ingredients can be changed and customizable. You can top these muffins with sugar and oats or you can make your own icing out of powdered sugar and almond milk to drizzle over the muffins.

Dairy Free Muffins Ingredients in bowls on a counter.

Vegan Butter Or Oil. They both great. I prefer this recipe with Olive Oil, if helps the dough to thin our a bit more than the vegan butter. But they both work well.

Sugar. Granulated white sugar.

Flour. All purpose. You may also use all purpose gluten free as well.

Almond Milk.

Blueberries. Raspberries will also work wonderfully.

Vanilla or Almond Extract.

Baking Powder.

Salt.

Eggs. You will need two

Oats for topping. This is optional.

Optional. For icing, powdered sugar.

How To Make This Recipe

These dairy free muffins do not need to be fussed over. The most important part is to be sure the batter is the right consistency and that you don’t over mix. As usual I like to make sure these recipes are FOOL PROOF ๐Ÿ˜‰

Step one. If using vegan butter, soften the butter and add to a stand mixer with the sugar. Mix until “creamed”. If using Oil. do the same thing, it will just be more runny and liquidity which is great.

Step two. Add the flour, salt, baking soda together in a bowl and whisk.

Step three. Add the eggs into the stand mixer with the oil and sugar. mix on low, add in vanilla extract. Next add in the flour followed immediately by the almond milk. Your mix will be thicker than pancake batter, but not as thick as cookie dough. Fold in the blueberries. Be mindful to NOT OVER MIX the batter.

Step four. Set oven to 350º line a muffin tin with paper liners. Scoop about 1/4 cup into each liner. Sprinkle sugar over the top of each muffin, about 1/2 tsp over each. Sprinkle Oats over the top after (optional!) for texture. Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the muffins cool completely before enjoying.

Optional Icing: whisk 1 cup powdered sugar with 1/2 tbsp almond milk. Add more powdered sugar to mix if you desire a thicker icing.
