I’m not vegan, but these muffins are so good! They taste great and give me a great start to my day! Recipe can be modified to not be vegan, but vegan food is so good for the body AND the muffins taste great as is–I’d recommend trying the vegan version:)
Ingredients
Muffins:
- 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder

- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
- 1 tablespoon of grated lemon zest (about 1 lemon)
- 2 tablespoons of egg replacement

- 3/4 cup of fresh blueberries
Toppings (optional)

- 1/4 cup vegan butter
- 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 4 oz vegan cream cheese (optional)
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- In large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking power, baking soda & salt.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk the sour cream, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, egg replacement & melted butter together.
- Slowly add the wet ingredients from step 3 into the dry ingredients from step 2. Mix well. Once finished, fold in the blueberries.
- Add mixture into 12 batch muffin tray and bake for around 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. OPTION TO TOP MUFFINS OFF WITH GRANULATED SUGAR AND/OR BROWN SUGAR BEFORE PUTTING THEM IN THE OVEN.
- Once baked, take muffins out of tray and let cool on cooling rack.
- OPTIONAL TOPPING OPTIONS: let muffins cool for about 6 minutes then either:

- Make vegan icing by mixing melted butter and powered sugar together with an electric mixer (you can add 4oz of cream cheese to make a cream cheese icing OR lemon juice to give it a kick!) and drizzle over muffins
- Both 🙂
- Enjoy!
I use baking cups for the muffins because it makes it so much easier to take them on the go.
