Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup natural sweetener (maple syrup or agave syrup)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)

Add-ins (choose one or more)

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen fruits (blueberries, raspberries, or mashed bananas)
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds, or other nuts)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon or other spices
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest (for lemon poppy seed option)
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds (for lemon poppy seed option)
  • 1 cup plant-based chocolate chips (for choco-nut delight)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Measure all dry and wet ingredients separately. Sift the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and natural gelling agent together to ensure even mixing and a light texture.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, blend the plant-based milk, vegetable oil, natural sweetener, and vanilla extract (natural) until smooth and fully combined.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened. Avoid over-mixing to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
  4. Add Your Flavors: Carefully fold in your chosen fruits, nuts, or spices evenly through the batter.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Divide the batter evenly into a muffin tin lined with paper cups. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 18 to 22 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the batter; stir just until combined to keep muffins light.
  • Use room temperature ingredients for better blending and consistent texture.
  • Preheat your oven to ensure even baking and proper rising.
  • Check muffins starting 3 minutes before the baking time ends to prevent overbaking.
  • Try adding a pinch of sea salt to balance and enhance natural sweetness.
