Vegan Blueberry Muffins Recipe

July 15, 2017 By Dishan Mendis 2 Comments

Bursting with juicy blueberries, this vegan blueberry muffins recipe is an appetizing breakfast to brighten up any morning!

They’re also great for kids and you may get the little ones interested in vegan baking teaching them how tasty a homemade vegan breakfast can be while stimulating their senses in the process! Invite your child to help mix the batter, scoop it carefully into the muffin tin, and add some blueberries, whatever they fancy.

Let them experience the tartness of the blueberries before baking and compare it with the heavenly melt & sweetness in the mouth once you bake them!

This vegan snack sensation is certainly one of our favorite breakfast recipes and best enjoyed warm when they deliver a faint delight of vanilla and cinnamon. They are also entirely nut-free and egg-free, so an excellent choice for anyone with allergies.

Enjoy them warm with your favorite breakfast beverage and some fresh fruits to set any day to a berrylicious start!
