Notes
Try these variations:
Citrus: Add the zest of an orange or lemon for a wonderful extra fragrance to the vegan blueberry muffins. Orange or lemon blueberry banana muffins are actually one of our faves!
Orange/ Lemon glaze: For a sweeter treat, feel free to add a simple orange or lemon glaze to the vegan blueberry banana muffins.
Sugar crust: Use a sprinkling of coarse sugar (demerara or turbinado) over the blueberry and banana muffins before baking.
Coconut: Add 2-3 tbsp of unsweetened coconut flakes for texture and subtle flavor.
Vegan chocolate: Use your favorite dairy-free chocolate chips or chunks. Use sugar-free vegan chocolate, if preferred. I recommend adding around ¼ cup for a light sprinkling of plant-based chocolate or 1/3 cup for slightly more.
Nuts: Add a ¼-1/3 cup of chopped walnuts, pecans, pistachios, or almonds.
Zucchini: Use around ¼-1/3 cup of shredded and well-drained (squeeze by-hand or through a nut milk bag) zucchini to hide extra nutrients for healthy blueberry banana muffins.
Cinnamon: Cinnamon blueberry muffins taste surprisingly delicious. Add a large pinch.
Flax meal: Add 1-2 tbsp of ground flax meal for extra fiber and nutrients to these eggless banana blueberry muffins.
Banana–free: You could experiment with using unsweetened applesauce instead.
