Ingredients
- 2 cups Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour (or all-purpose flour)
- 1/2 cup Bob’s Red Mill Organic Cane Sugar (or coconut sugar)
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseed + 6 tbsp water (flax egg)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 1/3 cup melted coconut oil (or vegetable oil)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (optional, or substitute with other berries or chopped fruit)
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Equipment
- Mixing bowls (large and medium)
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Whisk
- Rubber spatula or wooden spoon
- Muffin tin (12-cup size)
- Muffin liners or non-stick spray
- Cooling rack
- Small bowl (for flax egg)
Instructions
- Prepare the flax egg: In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed with 6 tablespoons of water. Stir well and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it thickens to an egg-like consistency.
- Preheat your oven: Set it to 375°F (190°C). Line the muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with non-stick spray.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flax egg, almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold with a rubber spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the muffins tender.
- Add mix-ins: Carefully fold in your blueberries and nuts if using. Reserve a few berries or nuts to sprinkle on top for a pretty presentation.
- Fill muffin cups: Evenly distribute the batter into the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle the reserved berries or nuts on top.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 18-22 minutes. Muffins are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
- Cool: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy: Serve fresh or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. These muffins also freeze beautifully.
Tips & Variations
“For extra moist muffins, try adding 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce or mashed banana to the wet ingredients.”
- Gluten-free option: Use Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour to keep this recipe gluten-free without sacrificing texture.
- Fruit swaps: Substitute blueberries with raspberries, chopped strawberries, or diced apples for seasonal variations.
- Nut-free: Omit nuts or replace with seeds like pumpkin or sunflower seeds if you have allergies.
- Spices: Add 1 tsp cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice for a warm, cozy flavor twist.
- Sweetener alternatives: Maple syrup or agave nectar can replace sugar, but reduce the plant milk slightly to compensate for liquid.
- Make mini muffins: Use a mini muffin pan and reduce baking time to 10-12 minutes.
