Ingredients
- 1/4 cup applesauce, sweetened
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1 cup plant-based milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- zest from a full lemon
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (from about half a lemon)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries, divided
- 1 teaspoon turbinado sugar, (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a muffin tin with 12 nonstick liners or grease the tin. Another idea to keep the muffins from sticking is to spray the liners with nonstick spray.
- Combine the wet ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredient bowl. Stir everything together with a spoon until the batter is mostly combined.
- Gently fold 1 cup of the blueberries into the batter until they are spread throughout. Reserve the rest for topping the muffins.
- Divide the batter by filling the muffin tin with about 3 tablespoons of batter or until they are mostly full.
- Top the muffins with the remaining blueberries and then sprinkle turbinado sugar over each one.
- Bake the muffins in the middle of the oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are a light golden color on top. Check one of the muffins with a toothpick. It should come out without any raw batter on it. Let them cool for about 10 minutes before enjoying them.
