Vegan Cherry-Blueberry Muffins
Easy to make, wholegrain, egg-free, soft, and can be made gluten free. My favourite blueberry muffins ever, they last a few days if you keep them in a food container.
They don’t stick to the muffin tin, and take only 20 minutes to bake, wooow!
Vegan Cherry/Blueberry Muffins
You can use either cherries or blueberries or both. I have tried all 3 versions, and my favourite is cherry alone because cherries are a bit sour in my garden, I like the combination of sweet muffin with sour berries. But feel free to try other berries as well.
Ingredients
- 250 gr wholegrain flour can be wheat flour, oat flour, rice flour
- ½ tsp baking powder or baking soda
- 100 gr melted coconut oil
- 100 gr dark brown sugar, coconut sugar, muscovado sugar, or any other unrefined sugar You can also use maple syrup or any other healthy sweetener.
- 2 tbsp chia or flaxseed to make the vegan egg replacement how to make 1 vegan egg replacement: 1 tbsp of flaxseed or chia, mixed with 3 tbsp of water. Mix and leave for 5 mins. This mixture replaces 1 egg in baking

- 200 gr of fresh or frozen blueberries and/or cherries
- 100 gr walnuts (optional) put the walnuts in the bag and crush them into smaller pieces with hands or something heavy

Hi there,
Are the measurements correct? I had to add 3x as much milk and still they did not rise in the oven at that temperature. I used coconut flour. Thank you

Hello Laura,
Yes, the measurements are correct, it has been tested many times 🙂
Coconut flour tends to absorb the liquid, and it doesn’t raise the dough. Please try using whole grain wheat flour and 100ml of milk, they should come out beautifully. If you were looking for gluten-free option, you can try buckwheat or rice flour, but rice flour won’t raise as much too. Good luck!
