Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- 1 cup plant-based milk
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/3 cup maple syrup or agave nectar (natural)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil or melted plant-based butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line your muffin tin with paper cups or lightly grease it with vegetable oil. Measure and gather all ingredients to ensure a smooth baking process.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and natural gelling agent until well combined. This ensures an even distribution of the leavening agents for a light texture.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the plant-based milk, maple syrup or agave nectar, vegetable oil or melted plant-based butter, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and vanilla extract (natural). Stir gently until fully incorporated, avoiding overmixing to keep the batter airy.
- Fold Wet and Dry Mixtures Together: Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries to keep them intact and prevent the batter from turning purple.
- Portion and Bake: Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let muffins cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe blueberries for the most vibrant flavor and texture.
- Fold ingredients gently to avoid tough muffins; do not overmix.
- Use room temperature ingredients for better blending and even batter consistency.
- An oven thermometer helps maintain precise baking temperature.
- Start checking muffins a few minutes before the expected baking time to avoid dryness.
