Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder (natural gelling agent)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 cup natural sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup plant-based milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
Main Flavoring
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Prepare Your Dry Ingredients: Start by whisking together the all-purpose flour, baking powder (natural gelling agent), baking soda, and natural sugar. This ensures the raising agents and sweetness are evenly distributed for a consistent rise.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the plant-based milk, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, and vanilla extract (natural). Whisk well to create a smooth, cohesive liquid base that will activate the raising agents in your dry mixture.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently fold together. Stir just enough to combine, taking care not to overmix, to keep the muffins tender and light.
- Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, distributing them evenly without breaking them to maintain bursts of fruity sweetness throughout the muffins.
- Bake to Perfection: Divide the batter evenly into a greased or lined muffin tin. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow muffins to cool for a few minutes to fully develop flavors and texture.
Notes
- Use plant-based milk and oil at room temperature for even mixing.
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough muffins.
- Using fresh blueberries prevents the batter from turning purple and watery.
- Allow the batter to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before baking to enhance moisture.
- Start checking muffins a few minutes early to prevent overbaking.
