Tips & Tricks
I'm weird about muffins. I love a crunchy top and texture instead of an overall soft texture. The middle is fluffy and moist but the top is crisp and delicious. If you want the crisp top like mine in the photo, fill 8 muffin liners with a heaping ¼ cup scoop. This will cause the muffin to fill over the edge and create that crispy top. If you want an overall soft muffin with no crisp top, fill about 10-12 muffin liners ¾ of the way full. Reduce the baking time a few minutes and keep an eye on them.
Baking them at a high heat of 5 minutes helps left the muffin up and then bakes the center when the temperature is reduced.

Vegan Blueberry Lemon Poppyseed Muffins
Ingredients
- 2 cups All Purpose Flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- ¼ teaspoons Baking Soda
- ¼ teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Poppyseeds
- 1 cup Frozen Blueberries
- 2 tablespoons Flaxseed
- ¼ cup Water
- 3 tablespoons Melted Vegan Butter
- ¼ cup Vegetable Oil
- 1 cup Organic Cane Sugar
- ⅓ cup Unsweetened Vegan Yogurt
- 3 tablespoons Lemon Juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F.
- Whisk together the all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, poppyseeds and frozen blueberries in a large bowl.
- Mix together the flaxseed and water. Set aside to thicken.
- Melt the vegan butter. Whisk the butter with the vegetable oil, organic cane sugar, vegan yogurt, lemon juice, and the flaxseed mixture.
- Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and stir with a spatula until just combined. Don't over mix. The batter should be on the thicker side.
- Line a muffin tin. Divide the batter with a heaping ¼ cup to makes 8 larger muffins with a crisp top or make 10-12 soft muffins by filling the liner up ¾ of the way. See tips & tricks for more information.
- Bake for 5 minutes @ 425F. Turn the heat down to 350F and continue to bake for 25-30 minutes for the larger muffins or 17-20 for smaller ones. When done, they should bounce back when touched and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let cool and enjoy!

Greetings Liv!
I am avoiding flax seeds so would like to know what alternatives you suggest / have tested, if any. I love your recipes and am excited to give this one a try!
Thanks!

I'm looking into updating/retesting this recipe in the upcoming week or so. I'll be sure to give a flax-free option a try, stay tuned 🙂

Hi Liv
Delicious...I didn't have any poppy seeds so I substituted chia seeds and the result was some pretty yummy muffins. Thank you for the recipe
