Servings: 12

Prep time: 10 mins | Bake time: 22 mins | Total: 32 mins

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

• 1 cups plant milk

• 1 cups coconut sugar or brown sugar

• 4 tablespoons coconut oil melted

• 1 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

• 2 teaspoons baking powder

• 1 teaspoons baking soda

• 1 pinch salt

• 1 teaspoons lemon zest

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat and prep: Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases or grease well with oil.

2. Make vegan buttermilk: Mix 1 cups plant milk and 1 tablespoons apple cider vinegar together in a jug. Let it sit for 5 minutes — it will curdle slightly and that's exactly what you want. This is your vegan buttermilk!

3. Mix wet and dry: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cups coconut sugar or brown sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoons baking soda, 1 pinch salt, and 1 teaspoons lemon zest. In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk mixture with 4 tablespoons coconut oil melted and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Pour wet into dry and stir until just combined. Don't overmix — lumps are fine!

4. Fold in blueberries: Gently fold 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries into the batter with a spatula. Be careful not to crush them.

5. Bake: Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin cases. Bake for 20-22 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

6. Cool and enjoy: Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container for up to 4 days!
