Description

Cashew butter and cacao nibs lend lovely flavor to this batch of vegan and gluten free blueberry muffins. They come together in about 33 minutes and are perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a snack!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 140g all purpose gluten free flour mix (I’m partial to Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 gluten free baking flour in the blue bag)
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 tsbp cacao nibs
  • 75g (about 3/4 cup) blueberries
  • 75g plant milk (I used cashew)
  • 120g cashew butter
  • 80g unsweetened applesauce
  • 65g maple syrup
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with coconut oil. Set the tin aside.

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sea salt, cinnamon, and cacao nibs until combined. Gently stir the blueberries into the dry ingredients until they are evenly distributed.

In a blender or food processor, combine the plant milk, cashew butter, applesauce, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry and gently stir with a spatula until a thick muffin batter forms. If it seems too dry, add a splash or two more of your plant milk.

Fill the wells of the muffin tin about 2/3 full of the batter. I find it’s easiest to do this with an ice cream scoop. Once you have used up all of the batter, tap the tin on the counter a few times to remove any air bubbles, then place the tin in the oven.

Bake the muffins at 375 for 15-18 min, rotating the tray halfway through the baking time. The muffins are ready when they are golden brown on the edges and a tester comes out clean.

Makes 8-9 muffins.
