    Vegan Lemon Blueberry Muffins

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    These Vegan Lemon Blueberry Muffins will be an instant favorite! They are soft, fluffy, and moist, filled with juicy blueberries and citrus flavor. With crunchy streusel and a dash of sweet-tart lemon glaze, these super easy muffins are irresistible.

    Vegan Lemon Blueberry Muffins

    Bursting with lemon flavor and juicy blueberries, these really are the best vegan muffins. Any egg-free recipe still makes me a bit nervous. But I was pleasantly surprised with the combination of coconut milk and apple cider vinegar I used as a substitute. It gave enough lift and lightness to the blueberry lemon muffins.

    How To Make Lemon Blueberry Muffins

    • Preheat the oven and line your muffin tray cavities with paper liners.
    • Sift together your dry ingredients.
    • Rub the lemon zest into the sugar and add it to the dry ingredients.
    • Combine coconut milk and apple cider vinegar in a bowl. Set aside for 5 minutes.
    • Whisk in oil, vanilla extract, and pure lemon oil (optional).
    • Pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently stir with a spatula, just until moistened.
    • Toss the blueberries with a tablespoon of flour. Fold them into the batter.
    • Spoon the batter into the cups. Fill them 3/4 of the way. Sprinkle with the streusel and bake for 22-25 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
    • Let cool in the pan for a few minutes before turning them out on a cooling rack.

    Making the Streusel Topping for the Muffins

    This is super easy! Just combine the flour, sugar, and almonds with coconut oil in a small bowl. You should get a grainy mixture like wet sand. Set aside.

    Now the Lemon Glaze

    Combine lemon juice and icing sugar until a thick smooth mixture is formed. That's it!

    Drizzle the glaze over the baked muffins. Let it set for 5- 10 minutes. Serve warm and fresh. Enjoy!

    Do You Need Fresh Blueberries?

    I used fresh blueberries for this recipe, but the frozen ones will work in a cinch. One tip, don't thaw them! Add them frozen to the batter.

    If blueberries are not your cup of tea, you can easily use any fresh or frozen berries of your choice here. I can assure you, you’ll get marvelous results!

    My Tips To Make The Perfect Muffins

    • Always mix the dry ingredients and wet ingredients in separate bowls. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ones and use a spatula to gently combine them.
    • Don't over-mix. The batter is supposed to look lumpy and a bit scraggy. The ingredients should be just moistened.
    • Add the mix-ins, like fruits, nuts, and chocolate chips last, and again very gently stir them in.
    • Use paper /silicone liners or else grease the baking cups really well. I always prefer paper liners for a mess-free cleanup.
    • Fill the pans only 3/4s of the way. Add water to the empty cups if you don't have enough batter to fill up all. This helps in even baking.
    • Wait for a few minutes before taking out the ready muffins from their pan, then put them out on a wire rack to cool. You don't want soggy-bottomed muffins.
