These blueberry muffins are not only free of dairy, but they are free of oils and refined sugars as well. With that being said, you won't have to worry about them being dry. These dairy-free blueberry muffins are incredibly moist and a healthy treat for breakfast, snacks or even for dessert!
Ingredients You'll Need
Oat flour and Almond flour- Oat and almond flour are fantastic for your health. So, I like to use these ingredients when I can. This is a perfect recipe to use them both as a 1:1 ratio. The combination of both gives these muffins the perfect texture!
100% pure maple syrup- these muffins are not overly sweet! They have a more subtle sweetness, so if you'd like you can always add a little more!
Vanilla extract
An egg
Unsweetened applesauce
Unsweetened plain coconut yogurt
Salt, cinnamon, baking powder and tapioca starch
Blueberries
How to Make Dairy-Free Blueberry Muffins
Start by taking 1 cup of oat flour and blending it in a high speed blender until it resembles the texture of flour. Sift the oat flour into a bowl and discard any oats that didn't get ground up in the blender. While you're at it, add 1 cup of almond flour and sift it along with the rest of the dry ingredients.
Mix your wet ingredients together lightly then combine with the dry ingredients and mix until well incorporated.
Take one cup of frozen wild blueberries and put them into a bowl covered with water and rinse them a few times until the water starts to run semi clear. It won't be perfect and that's okay. Then pat them dry with paper towels. This will help keep the muffin mix from turning weird alien colors when you mix it together. If you're not using frozen blueberries, you can skip this step.
Coat the blueberries in a little bit of flour. This will help keep the blueberries from sinking to the bottom of the muffin while baking.
Gently fold the blueberries into the batter with a spatula. It should only take a few turns. If you over mix it, the batter will start to turn into those weird alien-like colors!
Spray muffin liners with oil (it should make about 8 muffins!) and fill the liners right up to the top without overflowing the liner.
Place muffins in the oven at 425 degrees F for about 10 minutes. Do not open the door!
Turn oven temperature down to 350 degrees F and bake for another 20 minutes or until the muffins are completely cooked.
Let the muffins cool down before peeling off the liners or they will stick to it
Enjoy!

One of my favorite things about this blogger is these recipes tend to have less sugar also but you don’t miss it. These blueberry muffins are fantastic and you don’t miss the normal sugar you get in any other blueberry muffin recipe! Great little muffin to curve your sweet tooth!
