You would never know these Vegan Blueberry Muffins were made without eggs due to their light texture and incredible flavor! This easy recipe comes together quickly and only uses one bowl.

Updated March 2016: I decided that this post deserved to be revitalized with some new pictures and new love! It’s a celebrated and delicious recipe that the previous pictures didn’t do justice to. I left the story and post the same as when it was originally posted way back in April 2013! I hope you enjoy these secretly-vegan muffins. :)
These muffins were a total accident, that turned out SO amazingly. I was planning on making regular blueberry muffins when I realized two things:
A) The carton of blueberries I bought was on the verge of going bad,
B) I had never shared my favorite blueberry muffins on here!

So naturally, I just started whipping up the recipe. I ran to grab an egg, and…no eggs. I’m not one for egg replacements, so I had none of that either. I spotted a banana, mashed it up and threw it in. I went to grab the milk, and realized it was heavy cream or almond milk. Erring on the side of health, I grabbed the almond milk.
I used half whole wheat flour to help them be a bit more nutritious, and after mixing up all the batter, I realized they were vegan! I usually add a crumb topping to these muffins, and I promise to post the original recipe soon, but I decided to forgo it and hope these turned out decent.

Well, guys…they turned out WAY better than decent. No one even realized they were vegan OR whole wheat, they tasted so perfectly light with the exact texture of sort-of dense, but soft-of fluffy that I always want in a muffin.
I wouldn’t say they’re healthy, but they’re not as bad as the white flour, crumb-topped ones for sure. Oh, and that banana? You can’t taste it, I promise. It just gives the right amount of moisture that the lack of egg took away.

If you like to add spices to your blueberry muffins, I love a 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg in this recipe, but add whatever and however much you like! I left spices out of this batch to let the blueberries shine.
Also, if you use frozen blueberries, be aware your batter might turn a little blue! Be super careful not to overmix those babies.

So whether you’re vegan or not, these muffins are absolutely amazing and definitely worth a try, whether you’re out of eggs and milk or not! Enjoy :)

Notes

These muffins look amazing Rachel! And given all the incredible reviews I am definitely going to have to try them soon!
For muffins without eggs these sure look fluffy, leaved and moist. Definitely a recipe I need to try.
I am allergic to bananas. Could I substitute applesauce?
Yes, definitely! Use 1/2 cup applesauce. Enjoy!
I tried it once already and they were so perfectly worst, fluffy, and delicious. But this time I have no banana, Could I substitute a flax egg?
Hi Erin, so glad you enjoyed the muffins. I haven’t tried it with a flax egg, but it might work – applesauce will work in place of the banana as well.
Just whipped these up. My first ever vegan baking experience and I LOVE them! Can totally see myself making these every sunday to have during the week!
Is it okay if I share this on a new blog I just started? Im very new to being a vegan and blogging!
So glad you enjoyed them Tabitha!! If you didn’t change anything about the recipe, please just link back here for readers to get it. Thanks!
I notice in your recipe that you don’t include lemon which is often part of a blueberry cake or cupcake recipe. Have you ever tried them with lemon? I’m baking them tonight and I may put lemon zest in some and not in others to see how the flavour turns out. Thanks, Rachel
Hi Rachel, these would be delicious with a bit of lemon zest added! This particular recipe doesn’t call for it, but it would definitely be a welcome addition and add a bit of brightness to the muffins. Hope you enjoy them!
Just wanted to say thanks for this recipe! My son has egg allergies, and I wanted him to enjoy some muffin goodness with us. These were delicious, and I appreciate that I didn’t need any unusual ingredients to make them.
So glad you and your family (especially your son!) enjoyed the muffins, Corrie!
Yummy! 2nd time making it right now….I mix it up. Add different flours (organic corn meal is good!), different oils (coconut), and stevia as others have mentioned. Thank you!
Corn meal sounds delicious – must try that! Thanks for the feedback Lisa. So glad you’re enjoying the recipe!
These are delicious! My vegan, muffin-loving, blueberry-loving teenager gives them two thumbs up. ;-)
A few changes I made:
1-1/2 c. whole wheat pastry flour in place of the other flours
Reduced the sugar by about half
1/3 c. plain applesauce instead of oil
Added about 1/4 t. nutmeg and 1/2 t. vanilla
So happy to hear they were a hit, Ann! Thanks for sharing your changes and feedback here :)
I made these as mini muffins, replacing the white sugar with pure stevia and adding some cinnamon and cardamom. They’re delicious!
Amazingly delicious! Super moist! Followed almost exactly as written – used coconut oil instead of vegetable oil.
Pinned! This will be a new go-to recipe for me!!! Thanks so much!
I’m so happy to hear it! Thanks so much for your feedback, Elizabeth!
