Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups with cooking spray.
  2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until well combined.
  3. Prepare the Wet Ingredients:
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened almond milk, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar until smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
    • Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense muffins.
  5. Add the Blueberries:
    • Gently fold the fresh or frozen blueberries into the batter until evenly distributed. If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding them to the batter.
  6. Fill the Muffin Cups:
    • Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
  7. Bake the Muffins:
    • Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops of the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool and Serve:
    • Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
