Loaded Vegan Blueberry Muffins - Fully loaded Vegan Blueberry Muffins with a lemon zest topping and homemade Blueberry Jam Swirl. #vegan #muffins #healthy #breakfast #foodpornA couple of years ago, I was obsessed with looking for THE perfect Blueberry Muffin recipe. I wasn’t Vegan back then, and after making what seemed like 5000 different muffin recipes, I finally decided that Cooks Illustrated’s Best Blueberry Muffins recipe was… well, the best one out there. Fast forward a couple of years, I’m now Vegan, no longer obsessed with Muffins, and 20 lbs heavier. Oh, and I’ve also veganized the Cooks Illustrated recipe which I used, to produce these Loaded Vegan Blueberry Muffins.

Loaded Vegan Blueberry Muffins - Fully loaded Vegan Blueberry Muffins with a lemon zest topping and homemade Blueberry Jam Swirl. #vegan #muffins #healthy #breakfast #foodpornI love the recipe for these Loaded Vegan Blueberry Muffins because it incorporates Blueberries in 3 different ways. The original recipe calls for a Blueberry Jam to be made and then swirled into Blueberry studded muffins. I go one extra step by incorporating Lorann Blueberry Emulsion Oil into the mix. You don’t have to, but if you do, people will taste your muffins (giggle) and go “Wow, these taste like f*cking Blueberry Muffins on f*cking Blueberry steroids!”. Always a good thing.

Mmmm…I can already feel the stretch marks forming on my ass already.

Ingredients
  

Lemon Sugar Topping:

  • 1/3 cup Sugar
  • 11/2 teaspoons Lemon zest

For the muffins:

  • 1 cup Blueberries Frozen
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Blueberries Frozen
  • 1/2 cup Blueberries Fresh
  • 1 1/8 cup Sugar
  • 2 1/2 cups All Purpose Flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 Flax Eggs see note
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Oil melted
  • 1/3 cup Vegetable Oil
  • 1 cup Almond Milk "buttermilk" see note
  • 11/2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract

Instructions
 

  • Stir together sugar and lemon zest in small bowl until combined; set aside.
  • Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and heat oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Spray standard muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray or line with non stick muffin liners.
  • Bring 1 cup frozen blueberries and 1 tablespoon sugar to simmer in small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, mashing berries with spoon several times and stirring frequently, until berries have broken down and mixture is thickened and reduced to 1/4 cup, about 6 minutes. Transfer to small bowl and cool to room temperature, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in large bowl.
  • Whisk remaining 11/8 cups sugar, flax eggs, coconut oil and vegetable oil together in medium bowl until thick and homogeneous.
  • Slowly whisk in Almond Milk buttermilk, Vanilla and Blueberry Emulsion Oil until combined.
  • Using rubber spatula, fold dry mixture into wet mixture, along with 1/2 cup Frozen and 1/2 cup fresh blueberries until just moistened. (Batter will be very lumpy with few spots of dry flour; do not overmix.)
  • Divide batter equally among prepared muffin cups (batter should completely fill cups and mound slightly). Spoon teaspoon of cooked berry mixture into center of each mound of batter. Using chopstick or skewer, gently swirl berry filling into batter using figure-eight motion. Sprinkle lemon sugar evenly over muffins.
  • Bake until muffin tops are golden and just firm, 17 to 19 minutes, rotating muffin tin from front to back halfway through baking time. Cool muffins in muffin tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack and cool 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

To make Flax Eggs - For each egg needed, combine 1 tablespoon Golden Flaxseed Meal with 3 tablespoons Water, stir and let sit for 1 few minutes.
To make Almond Milk Buttermilk - Combine 1 cup Almond Milk with 1 teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar. Whisk, and let sit for 10 minutes.
