Vegan Blueberry Muffins

Vegetarian Times Issue: June 1, 2005   p.11

“I came up with this because I couldn’t find easy baked-goods recipes for vegans,” says Laurie Dolan, a California resident and a mother of two boys. “I saw in a PETA newsletter a while back that you could substitute applesauce and baking powder for eggs, so I started experimenting with basic cookie, cake, and muffin recipes. One of my favorite results was this blueberry muffin recipe.”  

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line 1/3-cup muffin cups with paper liners, or spray with cooking spray.
  2. Mix all ingredients together in mixing bowl. Spoon into muffin cups, filling three-quarters full.
  3. Bake 35 minutes, or until tops are firm. Cool slightly on rack.

looooove loooove this recipe! I actually add nuts at time substitue the blueberries and vin extract with orange extract and cranberries.. also I tend to use 1/2 wheat flour 1/2 either spelt flour or white flour.. to give it texture. :) either way these muffins are great! Also a nice trick to add a tble spoon of agave nectar it makes the muffins reeeally soft and moist..

I cut the sugar in half, and added 1/4 cup ground flax seed. Also used some chia gel as part of the applesauce, because i didn't have enough. works similar to a flax egg. sooo good!

pretty good recipe, though I wouldn't put half the sugar in next time. Instead of using all soy margarine (im getting sick of soy) I used half veg. oil and half the soy marg. It was still a little thick when i added the applesauce so I added vanilla almond milk and left out the vanilla extract. Even though they were a bit too sugary (i mean applesauce and almond milk are sweet enough) they still tasted moist (but not squishy vegan moist) and delicious! To the second batch I added a little bit of knob creek, and substituted vanilla extract with almond milk. I gave them to my boyfriend's band rehearsing downstairs and they inhaled them even while piping hot. A- recipe.

How did you convert them to gluten free? What type of flour did you use?
By Jaci on Mar 20, 2011:
The batter was super thick so I had to add more soy milk. They are in the oven, so I'll see how they come out!

I used coconut milk and substituted raspberries for blueberries. (they were on sale and blueberries were not) They were really good!

I made these GF/DF/SF & they still turned out pretty well. I used Jule's GF flour, soy free Earth Balance & vanilla hemp milk (Trader Joe's). The batter was very thick & the muffins were somewhat dense but not leaden at all. They smelled wonderful in the oven & were devoured by everyone. I will make them again. I might try using apples & cinnamon next time instead of blueberries.

I made these last night for a friend at work who is vegan...they are delicious~ My friend has already eaten 2 this morning and told me they are wonderful. I used whole wheat flour but otherwise followed the recipe.

What can I use instead of suger I don't use sugar I do use sweet'nlowso how much of that would I use if I can?
By Meghen on Oct 12, 2011:
Hey, how much Alexandra, how much Agave nector did you use? and how much would you say it modified the softness/texture. I make these but also add flax and use whole wheat flour so they come out dense,.. any suggestions to make them softer? more moist? without adding oil or anything? already.
I doubled the applesauce as well, someone said they added more milk, but same result im sure.
