The recipe for these easy Vegan Blueberry Muffins originally came to us from our friends at Meat Out Monday (now Meatless Monday), and it is a keeper! It’s a simple, sweet formula with lots of potential for versatility. You could swap in other berries, dried cranberries, or chocolate chips for the blueberries. You could substitute whole wheat flour for up to half of the all-purpose flour. And you could adjust the sugar up or down, depending on your desired level of sweetness.
This recipe was shared with us back in 2006, and we are giving it a big update today! Because a simple, delicious baked good seems like the perfect spring treat to ease back into the week after a big holiday.
