Healthy Lemon Blueberry Muffins
These healthy lemon blueberry muffins are the perfect summer sweet treat. They’re refreshingly tangy and packed with fresh blueberries bursting with flavour. If you’re a fan of fruity muffins, these are bound to become a staple in your home.
ingredients
- 2 chia or flax eggs
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- ⅔ cup soy yogurt
- ½ cup coconut oil, melted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¼ cup plant-based milk
- Finely grated zest of 2 large lemons
- Juice of 2 lemons
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen (see notes above)
instructions
- Grease a 12-count muffin tin with coconut oil, or line it with cupcake liners. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 flax or chia eggs and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed for 3 minutes. Whisk in soy yogurt, coconut oil, vanilla extract, plant milk, lemon zest and lemon juice.
- In a small bowl, add flour, baking powder and salt, and whisk to combine. Using a hand-held whisk, add the flour mixture into the batter ⅓ at a time, stirring with each addition just until incorporated. Do not overmix, or the muffins can become dense.
- Use a spatula to fold in the blueberries, folding just until combined. If you're using frozen blueberries, make sure to defrost them first (see notes above).
- Divide the batter into the muffin tin, filling the cups to the top or until all of the batter is used up. Bake for 30 to 33 minutes or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean without wet dough.
- Wait for the muffins to cool completely before removing them from the tin. They will stay fresh in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
