Best Blueberry Muffins (Recipe without Milk)

This delicious blueberry muffin recipe is made without milk! Fluffy and soft, you will only need one bowl to make these, and no mixer. They are a classic blueberry muffin with a no-dairy option and less sugar but honestly, bursting with flavor!

As an active mom muffins are an everyday snack at my house! I like to have pineapple oatmeal muffins and in the summer blueberry peach muffins in the freezer as a healthy snack for anytime time of day!

Why You Will Love This Recipe:

• Ran out of milk? Avoiding dairy? These can easily be made as dairy free muffins.
• Super quick & easy! No mixer is needed.
• Wholesome and healthy yet with no weird ingredients.

Ingredients

• Flour: You can use all purpose white flour or whole wheat flour, I usually do half and half.
• Baking Powder: Using baking powder and baking soda gives these muffins a great rise.
• Salt: Adding salt balances the flavor!
• Oil or Butter: You can use a neutral-tasting oil (canola, coconut, vegetable) in these muffins or melted butter.
• Sugar: I like to use organic cane sugar, however, white sugar, or coconut sugar will work too.
• Eggs: The eggs add texture and rise to the muffins.
• Vanilla: Vanilla extract compliments the blueberries well!
• Blueberries: Thankfully you make these all year round with fresh in-season berries or frozen blueberries! Frozen blueberries will leave streaks in your muffins however they still taste great. Do not thaw them before adding them to the batter.

See recipe card for exact ingredient quantities.

What's the best oil to use in muffins?

When making muffins it's best to use a neutral tasting oil for the best taste (coconut oil, vegetable oil, canola oil).

Should I use fresh blueberries or frozen blueberries in muffins?

You can use fresh blueberries or frozen blueberries in muffins. If you are using fresh blueberries, choose smaller ones to distribute evenly and remember to wash them first with cold water.

Keep frozen blueberries in the freezer until adding them to the muffin batter.

This is a photo of blueberry muffins using frozen blueberries, you can see they have more blue streaks compared to using fresh blueberries.

What can I use instead of milk in blueberry muffins?

If you run out of milk in your kitchen while baking blueberry muffins, you can use water as a replacement with no trouble. I like to add 1 more teaspoon of vanilla to compensate for the no-milk flavor. This muffin recipe uses water instead of milk.

If you are looking to make dairy-free blueberry muffins, in any recipe that calls for milk use lactose-free milk or any milk alternative like almond milk with no texture issues.

Can I use other Sweeteners?

These easy blueberry muffins are made with ½ cup cane sugar. I have not tested the recipe with other sweeteners however any non liquid sweetener (coconut sugar, white sugar, truvia, monk fruit) should work fine.

Can I make these Blueberry Muffins Healthy?

Homemade blueberry muffins are much healthier than muffins you buy at the grocery store or restaurants as they have no fillers and no refined food products.

To make these milk-free blueberry muffins more nutrient dense you can use whole wheat flour, and add 2 tablespoons of hemp hearts for extra protein.

Substitution and Variations

Here's a few ways you can change this healthy recipe to make it suit your preferences!

• Other Berries: Instead of blueberries try this recipe with blackberries, raspberries, or chopped strawberries to make berry muffins without milk.
• Toddler friendly: Bake these muffins in a tiny muffin tray to make every toddler squeal for mini blueberry muffins!
• Healthy Blueberry Lemon Muffins: Add 1 tablespoon of lemon zest to the batter to make dairy-free blueberry lemon muffins!
• Add Chocolate Chips: Add ¾ cup chocolate chips to the batter with the blueberries to make blueberry chocolate chip muffins!
• Gluten Free Dairy Free Blueberry Muffins: To make these muffins df and gf simply use a gluten-free flour blend and use oil rather than butter.

How do you Store and Freeze Muffins?

Storing: Store these muffins out of direct sunlight in an airtight container. They will last about three days on the counter, if you want to make them last longer place them in the fridge up to a week.

Freezing: These muffins are freezer-friendly. Place in an airtight bag or container, and freeze. To dethaw leave muffins on the counter at room temperature for a few hours or overnight. Enjoy within 3 months of freezing, after that they won't go bad, they may just not taste as fresh.
