eggless blueberry muffins recipe with step by step photos. moist and soft are these yum blueberry muffins made without eggs. these muffins are made with whole wheat flour and have a soft and moist crumb. difficult to guess also that whole wheat flour is used.
a healthy variation of a blueberry muffin recipe was requested by a few readers. Β i have made blueberry muffins before also. so thought of sharing the recipe. for most vegan muffins recipe i usually follow my chocolate chip muffin recipe and it works wonders with a few variations here and there. these egg free blueberry muffins are also adapted from the chocolate chip muffin recipe i posted a few years back.
in the recipe i have used thin coconut milk (third extract of coconut milk if made at home). you can even use almond milk or cashew milk or gmo free soy milk. even dairy milk can be used. for a really lighter version of the muffins you can add water. for the sugar i have used organic unrefined cane sugar. though even jaggery or coconut sugar or palm sugar or regular white sugar can be used.
these blueberry muffins taste good. you will get the flavor and taste of moist sweet blueberries in a soft and light cake crumb. the recipe serves 12 muffins. leftover muffins can be refrigerated and warmed just before serving.

Can you please tell what is the substitute if fresh blueberries are unavailable? Can we use blueberry crush?
geetha, canned or dried blueberries can be used. you can use blueberry crush, but then you will have to cut down on the amount of sugar and this will depend on the sweetness of the crush. hope this helps.
You’re all recipes are awesome and yummy. So for thatππππππππ
