Blueberry muffins are great for breakfast, part of a lunch or as a snack. A perfect on-the-go treat. This recipe can be very easily made without eggs (substitute the egg with flax seed powder) and you have yourself a great vegan/vegetarian muffin. Serve some warm muffins with cold vanilla ice cream and guess what you have…?

Hi Girls,
Nice recipe. Tried it and came out very well. Can I store it at room temperature?
Going for a vacay and wondering whether I can take it as a snack?
Hi Rene,
They will stay at room temperature for about a day or two.
Hello,
For this recipe, can we substitute the blueberry’s for other fruits.
We have not tried other fruits but blueberries work well because they have a nice skin that holds the fruit together while baking. Other fruits may just become mushy.
Hi Hetal n Anuja,
. Am a big fan of blueberry muffins n hav tried a lot of recipes but none of them worked well…your recipes are very dependable so wanted to try them out….ju wanted to know wether wheat flour can be replaced with all purpose flour and orange juice with milk.
Thanku loads for all the wonderful recipes.You guys r doing a very great job:-)
Hi Amina,
Yes, you should be able to replace both the whole wheat flour and the orange juice.
Hello Hetal and Anuja,
Just now I have made this muffin….and it is cooling down now… I used ordinary chappatti flour ….it came out perfect…. thanks for the wonderful recipe.
Thanks,
Remya.
I tried these with normal chapati flour, milk instead of orange juice and flaxseed meal instead of eggs. Came out nice 🙂
