Ingredients You’ll Need
This recipe makes 12 eggless blueberry muffins. Check out the list below for important notes about the ingredients.
- Oat Flour: I used Bob’s Red Mill oat flour to keep these blueberry muffins wheat/gluten-free, but feel free to use a different brand.
- Sugar: I used raw turbinado sugar here. I sprinkled some on top for a subtle, sweet, caramelized crunch. You can also use coconut sugar or brown sugar.
- Baking Powder: Baking powder is the leavening agent responsible for making the muffins rise.
- Salt: Salt strengthens the batter and enhances the sweet, blueberry flavor.
- Milk: For dairy-free, vegan muffins, use coconut milk, oat milk, hemp milk, or rice milk (if dairy is of no concern, I used 1% milk, and they came out perfect).
- Oil: To make soft and fluffy blueberry muffins without eggs, you’ll need a quality neutral-tasting oil like coconut oil or avocado oil (you can also use grass-fed butter if there are no dairy sensitivities).
- Vanilla Extract: To enrich your muffins with the best flavor, use a quality pure vanilla extract.
- Blueberries: If blueberries are in season, by all means, use fresh -but you can also use frozen.

How To Make Blueberry Muffins without Eggs
Step 1: Prepare for baking. Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees and lining a muffin pan with paper liners or silicone muffin liners. Set aside.
Step 2: Combine dry ingredients. Stir the sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large mixing bowl.
Step 3: Combine wet ingredients. Stir the milk, oil, and vanilla together in a separate bowl.
Step 4: Combine wet and dry mixtures. Then, pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
Step 5: Stir in blueberries. Finish the batter by gently stirring in the blueberries.
Step 6: Drop batter into muffin tin. Drop the muffin batter into your prepared muffin pan using an ice cream scoop. Sprinkle the top of each with sugar before baking.
Step 7: Bake. Transfer the pan to your preheated oven and bake until the tops are set.
Step 8: Cool and serve. Let the muffins cool in the pan until they’re cool enough to handle. Enjoy warm or transfer to a cooling rack to finish cooling before storing.
Recipe Tips
- To keep the blueberries suspended throughout rather than sinking to the bottom of the muffins, dust them in a light coating of oat flour before stirring them into the batter.
- Try not to fuss with the batter. Over mixed muffins can be tough and chewy.
- Fill each liner no more than 1/2 way full. If there’s too much batter, the tops may spill out over the side of the liners as they bake.
Variations
Gluten-free lemon blueberry muffins – Brighten up your blueberry muffins by adding 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter. Orange juice and zest always pair well with juicy blueberries.
Add a flax “egg” to the batter– this adds additional nutrients and is a common egg replacement in vegan recipes. Just combine 1 tbsp of ground golden flaxseed with 2.5 tablespoons of water. Allow it to sit for 5 minutes to thicken and add to the batter.
Switching up the berry – Blueberries are interchangeable with any juicy berry (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, etc.). Feel free to use some of each.
Mix-in ideas – Enhance your eggless blueberry muffins by mixing in 3/4 cups of :
- Gluten-free blueberry granola
- Dark chocolate chips
- Cacao nibs
- Berry crumble
- Blueberry compote
Storing & Freezing
Storing: At room temperature, eggless blueberry muffins keep for 2 to 3 days. In the fridge, they’ll last for up to a week. Keep layers separated with parchment paper in an airtight container.
Freezing: After cooling, wrap each muffin in a couple of layers of plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe container or resealable bag. Keep frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.
Recipe FAQ
Yes -frozen blueberries are especially useful when fresh blueberries aren’t at their peak. Using frozen blueberries ensures they were picked at their prime. There’s no need to thaw them beforehand.
To reheat your muffins without drying them out, you can microwave them in 30 second increments until warm loosely covered with a damp paper towel.
You should be able to bake the batter in a greased loaf pan at 350 degrees for 55 minutes to an hour (or until the top is set and golden brown). *Note: I have not recipe tested this variation.
