Instructions
- Sift your dry ingredients, add to bowl and whisk. Make sure to whisk super well – you don’t want for salt or baking powder to be concentrated in just one part but perfectly evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Combine all your wet ingredients (oil, lemon juice, vegan milk) in a separate bowl.
- In another smal bowl, mash 25g of your blueberries until smooth using a fork. You can even put them in the microwave to make the mashing easier.
- Add your mashed blueberries to the wet mixture. Stir. Then pour your wet mixture over your dry mixture.
- Whisk until combined, but no need to over-whisk. Grab your whole blueberries and chuck them over your mixture. Stir again, so that all your blueberries are distributed as evenly as possible throughout the mixture.
- Time to prepare the oat crumble topping. Simply mix oats, brown sugar, cinnamon and oil.
- Now comes the fun, final bit. Line your muffin tray with paper liners. Use a spoon to fill the tin with your muffin mixture. Fill all the way to the top and then sprinkle over the oat topping.
- Pop them into the oven for 30-35 minutes at 180°C/356°F.
Notes
- Use the step-by-step photos above as your visual guide.
- This recipe has been tested using weight measurements (not cups). I recommend using weight measurements (both EU and US weights are stated in the recipe card). Cups vary in size and are thus considerably less exact.
- Fill your muffin tin all the way to the top.
- To check if it's been baked, stick a wooden skewer in the middle of a muffin and see if it comes out clean. A clean skewer means your muffins are done.
- If you want to remove the paper liner easily, wait for the muffin to cool down completely first.
