    We all need a go-to dairy-free muffin recipe, and this one is mine! This dairy-free blueberry muffin recipe uses whole wheat flour, no refined sugar, no oil, and plenty of blueberries. It's a great recipe to make with the kids, and you only need a bowl and spoon to whip the ingredients together. They bake beautifully with or without eggs, which gives you the option to easily make them vegan.

    These are a part of my weekly meal prep, and my little guy loves bringing them to school for a snack or as part of his lunch. They're nut-free, which makes them an easy, school-friendly lunchbox staple. I usually make a double batch and freeze half for when I need something in a pinch.

    I also love these muffins as an easy breakfast option for busy mornings. I usually have one with my favorite green smoothie, or alongside my baked spinach mushroom omelette. They're also a delicious addition to your holiday brunch table, or to have available for overnight guests.

    Ingredients
     

    • ½ cup 100% pure maple syrup
    • 2 tablespoons ground flax mixed with ¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon water if you can eat eggs, you can use 2 eggs instead
    • 1 cup unsweetened apple sauce
    • ¼ cup water
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
    • 1 ¾ cup whole wheat flour
    • ⅓ cups oats plus some to sprinkle on top of muffins
    • 1 cup blueberries I used frozen

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat your oven to 325°F, and line or grease your muffin tin.
    • Mix your dry ingredients in a large bowl.
    • Using a fork, mix in your wet ingredients, but don’t overmix.
    • Gently fold in your blueberries using a spatula.
    • Fill each cup of your muffin tin about halfway. Sprinkle with more oats on top, if you’d like.

      I love these muffins for breakfast. And since they are lower in sugar and have more fiber, they keep me fuller longer. And they are delicious!

    Hi, I'm Lyndsay! I'm a certified nutrition coach who loves food and studying its effects on our bodies. I started a dairy-free journey when my son was diagnosed with milk intolerance in 2009. He grew out of his intolerance when he was 7, and a few years later I grew into one.
