Blueberry muffin ingredients

Ingredients:

Muffins

  • 1 ½ cups flour, sifted
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/3 cup canola or vegetable oil
  • 1 egg or egg substitute (I used Red Mills Egg Replacer)
  • 1/3 cup milk or milk substitute (I used oat milk)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups blueberries

Crumble topping

  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • ¼ cup butter or vegan butter cubed

Instructions:

  1. Gather ingredients and preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine dry muffin ingredients: 1 ½ cups flour, ¾ cup sugar, ½ teaspoon salt and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
  3. In another bowl, combine the wet muffin ingredients: 1/3 cup canola or vegetable oil, 1 egg, 1/3 cup milk and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
  4. Add the wet mixture to the flour mixture and combine. Be careful not to over mix.
  5. Once a dough-like texture is formed, fold in the blueberries. (TIP: Lightly coat your blueberries in flour to prevent them from falling to the bottom.)
  6. Fill a greased muffin tin with generous spoonfulls of dough. Evenly distribute any remaining mixture.
  7. To make your crumb topping, mix ½ cup sugar, 1/3 cup flour and ¼ cup butter.
  8. Use hands to combine into a chunky sand-like mixture.
  9. Sprinkle crumb mixture on top of dough.
  10. Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until tops of muffins start to brown.
  11. Remove from oven and enjoy!
