Why you will love these Quick + Easy Vegan Oatmeal Blueberry Muffins
First of all, have you ever heard of those “quick and easy” recipes, and then you take a look at the 20 – 30 steps/instructions. Well, not this one. For these gluten-free, vegan oatmeal blueberry muffins, what you see is what you get. All you need to do is add all the ingredients except the blueberries into the blender, blend, add the blueberries, bake and enjoy! Remember to double batch this recipe and freeze for quick on-the-go breakfasts on busy mornings. There are many reasons to love these vegan oatmeal muffins, such as:
- Easy to make. Probably why I love these breakfast muffins the most. Everything is under 30 minutes!!
- No special equipment or ingredient needed. You won’t be purchasing any new equipment as long as you already have a blender and muffin/cupcake pan.
- Great for meal prep. In case you have kids going back to school, this recipe is phenomenal for those busy mornings! It is a perfect on-the-go (aka, grab-n-go) breakfast!
- Refined sugar-free; yes, you heard me! These vegan oatmeal blueberry muffins recipe uses only bananas and maple syrup as the sweetener. Typically, I do not add any white sugar. How awesome is that?
- Easily customizable! For instance, I used blueberries because I love the juiciness of blueberries. However, you can use any other berry, such as raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries. That is the beauty of cooking; make it your way!
- Make ahead and freeze for quick breakfasts and snacks! Fortunately, these gluten-free, vegan muffins are freezer-friendly! Make a couple of batches and freeze for those busy weekday breakfasts.
Ingredients for Vegan Oatmeal Blueberry Muffins:
- Old-fashion Oats
- Blueberries
- Very Ripe bananas
- Plant-based milk (I typically use almond milk or soy milk)
- Original maple syrup or Monkfruit (no sugar no calorie sweetener)
- Ground flaxseed
- Baking powder
- Coconut oil
- A dash of salt
- Cinnamon
- Nutmeg
- Vanilla extract
How to Make Gluten-free Vegan Oatmeal Blueberry Muffins
- Preheat oven to 350; grease or spray the muffin or cupcake pan.
- Add all the ingredients into the blender (except the fresh blueberries), and blend. There is no need to blend this mixture finely; be careful not to turn this into a smooth paste or sm-oo-thie.
- Use a small spoon to scoop a small amount of dough into an already greased muffin or cupcake pan. Only add half of the intended dough, add fresh blueberries, and finally, top with the remaining dough. The goal is to have the blueberries hidden in the middle. Eventually, they will burst and release their juices as they bake. On the other hand, please feel free to add the blueberries however you deem fit. Regardless, these vegan oatmeal blueberry muffins would still taste great!
Baking these Muffins:
- Bake vegan oatmeal blueberry muffins in a preheated 350 oven for about 15 – 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Baking time may vary.
- Serve with more blueberries, a drizzle of warm syrup, and a cup of milk on a busy weekday morning. Equally, you can enjoy them with a cup of tea or coffee. I love to have one of these with a cup of tea. YUM!
Vegan Oatmeal Blueberry Muffins FAQs
Yes, these vegan oatmeal blueberry muffins are healthy. Let me explain: first of all, “healthy” can mean many things to different people. However, this vegan muffin recipe is more nutritious than most you see out there because it uses mainly natural ingredients that are great for you. Also, it doesn’t require refined sugar that isn’t good for you! These vegan oatmeal blueberry muffins are dairy-free, gluten-free, nut-free, and definitely healthier.
No, I do not recommend using steel-cut oats for these vegan oatmeal blueberry muffins. I suggest old-fashioned oats, aka rolled oats.
You can absolutely sweeten muffins without sugar. Try natural sweeteners such as maple syrup or date syrup; I love both. Another non-sugar (no calorie) sweetener that I recommend is monk fruit. However, for these vegan oatmeal blueberry muffins, my sweeteners of choice were banana and maple syrup.
Gladly, yes, you can use frozen bananas to make banana muffins like this one. I would recommend that you allow them to thaw.
