Vegan Lemon Blueberry Muffins!
These Vegan Lemon Blueberry Muffins are so soft and moist. The lemon and blueberry combination is perfect for spring! The bright lemon enhances the flavour of these muffins and really brings out the sweetness from the blueberries.
I love having these muffins for a morning snack. I find them super filing with the combination of complex carbohydrates and fibre from the oats, as well as some healthy fats from the coconut cream and coconut milk. They’re also a healthier version of most muffins! They’re vegan, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free, as well as nut free for school lunches!
I have also tried using 1 3/4 cups of oat flour and 1 cup of almond flour. The result is almost the same but I find the muffins crumble a little easier. The almonds add slightly more fat and protein making the muffins more filling. Follow me on Instagram @livesimplyhealthy and let me know if you make these!
Happy Spring!!
