Ingredients Needed
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda

- ½ cup almond milk or other plant-based milk
- ¼ cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions for Making the Muffins
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the maple syrup, plant-based milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries and chopped nuts.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool slightly before removing them from the tin. Enjoy your healthy, egg-free vegan breakfast muffins!
