Blueberry Muffins (Made Without Milk or Eggs): The Ultimate Hack

You want muffins. Fluffy, bursting-with-blueberries muffins. But you’re out of milk and eggs, or maybe you just don’t want to use them.

Guess what? You don’t need them. This recipe slaps harder than a Monday morning alarm clock.

It’s vegan-friendly, accidentally allergy-proof, and so easy even your cat could probably make it (if cats baked). No weird ingredients, no compromises—just muffins that taste like they’re cheating. Ready to prove everyone wrong?

Why This Recipe Works

Most dairy-free muffins taste like sad cardboard.

These don’t. The secret? Applesauce and oil team up to replace eggs and milk without the texture or flavor taking a hit. The blueberries?

They’re the MVP, adding juicy explosions in every bite. Plus, this recipe is faster than your last Amazon impulse buy—mix, bake, done. No fancy techniques, no waiting around.

Just muffins that’ll make you forget dairy ever existed.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend if you’re fancy)
• ¾ cup sugar (because life’s too short for unsweetened muffins)
• 2 tsp baking powder (the lift MVP)
• ½ tsp salt (to balance the sugar rush)
• ⅓ cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil for a tropical vibe)
• 1 cup unsweetened applesauce (egg replacer and moisture wizard)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional, but highly recommended)
• 1½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries (no thawing needed—lazy win)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with papers or grease it. Your call.
2. Whisk dry ingredients. Flour, sugar, baking powder, salt—dump them in a bowl and stir. No sifting needed (we’re rebels).
3. Mix wet ingredients. Oil, applesauce, vanilla.

   Stir until it looks like a weird smoothie.

4. Combine wet and dry. Fold gently—don’t overmix, or you’ll get hockey pucks.
5. Add blueberries. Toss them in flour first if using fresh (stops sinking). Frozen? Straight in.
6. Fill muffin cups ¾ full. Bake 20–25 minutes until golden.

   Toothpick test = clean.

7. Cool for 5 minutes. Then devour. Or don’t—we’re not your boss.

Storage Instructions

Room temp: Store in an airtight container for 2 days (if they last that long). Fridge: Up to 5 days—microwave for 10 seconds to revive. Freezer: Wrap individually, freeze for 3 months. Thaw or reheat straight from frozen.

Pro tip: Hide them from your roommate.

Benefits of This Recipe

No dairy? No eggs? No problem.

These muffins are allergen-friendly, budget-friendly, and lazy-cook-approved. They’re also moist (yes, we said it) and packed with antioxidants from the blueberries. Plus, they’re versatile—swap ingredients (see below) and still win.

Oh, and did we mention they’re stupidly easy?

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Overmixing the batter. Gluten development = tough muffins. Stir until just combined.
• Using expired baking powder. Test it with hot water—if it doesn’t bubble, replace it.
• Overfilling muffin cups. They’ll spill over and mock you. ¾ full is the sweet spot.
• Skimping on blueberries. More berries = more joy. Basic math.

Alternatives

Flour: Swap all-purpose for whole wheat, oat, or gluten-free blend. Sweetener: Use coconut sugar or maple syrup (adjust liquids). Oil: Try melted butter (if dairy’s okay) or avocado oil. Blueberries: Sub with chocolate chips, raspberries, or diced apples.

IMO, blueberries reign supreme, but you do you.
