Who doesn't love freshly baked muffins that too home-baked? These vegan blueberry muffins are no different. You will instantly fall in love with them. The freshness of these muffins is perfect for this season.
Like all my other baking recipes this too is a very easy and hassle-free recipe. Perfect for beginners.
Blueberries in Dubai are very expensive so whenever I see a good offer on them, I buy in bulk and freeze the berries. From different shows on TV channels like Nat Geo and Discovery, I learned that in North America bears love eating blueberries and consume up to 30,000 berries in a day. In Dubai, we can go bankrupt if develop a bear's appetite :(.
How to store and freeze?
These muffins will remain perfectly fine on the countertop for around 5 days. Just put them in an airtight container lined with paper towels and cover with more paper towels before putting on the lid.
You can also freeze them for around 3 months. Just reheat in a microwave before eating.
Recipe tips & tricks
Though this recipe is already very easy, if you take care of a few basic points you will always get perfect muffins.
- You can use both fresh and frozen blueberries to make them. However, if using frozen, don't thaw them otherwise the batter will change its color when mixed with thawed berries.
- The batter of muffins should be on the thicker side otherwise the berries will settle at the bottom and won't get distributed properly.
