Blueberry muffins!
Have you ever seen the jumbo muffins they sell at places like Costco and Sam’s Club? Yesterday, out of the blue (pun intended), those muffins just popped into my mind. And suddenly… I wanted one!
I had some leftover blueberries from making Homemade Blueberry Ketchup.
So I quickly threw them into a single-lady cupcake mix and was eating my very own single-serving blueberry muffin only ten minutes later.
Single Serving Blueberry Muffin
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp spelt flour (30g) (or ww pastry, white, or Bob’s gluten-free)
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- heaping 1/16 tsp salt
- 1-2 tbsp blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp coconut or veg oil (You can use applesauce if you don't mind the taste of fat-free baked goods)
- 1 tbsp plus 1 tsp milk of choice (Use less if using liquid sweetener)
- pinch uncut stevia OR 1 tbsp sugar or liquid sweetener
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 330 degrees. (Or continue reading for microwave option.) Mix dry ingredients, then add wet. Mix until just combined (don’t overmix), and bake for 17 minutes or so. Baking time will vary, depending on the flour and oil/applesauce you use. If you don’t want to heat your oven for just one muffin, you can make this in the microwave! Just grease/spray a little dish, pour batter in, heat for 90-ish seconds, and enjoy!

After finishing my muffin, I watched a CNN special on Bill Clinton, who credits his new vegan diet with saving his life. Did you know he’s a vegan?! Vegans used to be seen as weird and out of the ordinary. But thanks to famous vegans such as Ellen DeGeneres, Paul McCartney, and Alicia Silverstone, veganism is becoming a lot more mainstream now. Maybe someday, even Sam’s Club will sell vegan jumbo muffins!
P.S. Thanks for all the feedback on the new Chocolate Covered Katie FAQ post.
Hi ! I’m a pescetarian who has been trying to eat healthier but who loves sweets 🙂 I chanced upon this website a few weeks ago and I love it! I haven’t had the chance to try many of the recipes yet, but they all seem so delicious! I love your idea for a single-serving muffin, but I actually multiplied the recipe by 12 to get an even dozen as I wanted to eat these throughout the week. I made a few modifications as well, but I think your original recipe is amazing nonetheless. I posted my modified recipe for anyone else who would like to try it.
Modified Orange-Blueberry Muffins (Makes 12)
• 2 1/ 4 cup flour (I used 1 1/4 cup all purpose white, 1 cup whole wheat)
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 3 / 4 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 – 2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
• 2 tbsp vanilla extract
• 3 /4 cup unsweetened applesauce(You can use unrefined coconut oil as the original recipe says or a different oil;
• 1 cup orange juice
• 1 tbsp orange zest (I use atleast 2 times more because I like a strong orange flavour)
• 1 cup sugar or sweetener (I use 1 cup because as I mentioned I like things sweet and the orange juice gives it a slight bitter taste)
Thank you for the recipe and I look forward to trying other recipes on your website! 😀
Thanks, Jenna! People often ask how to scale the recipe up. Now I can just send them to your comment 🙂 :).
Hey this looks super good!!! But if I wanted to microwave this muffin, how long should I put it in for?
It really depends on the microwave, so you’ll have to experiment.
CCK!!! will you please pwease make a bulk option of your single lady cupcakes !! If we continue to bake such small quantities we’re going to stay single!!! i really wanna make a bunch of thease and your confetii cupcake but some of us are allready amature bakers and have poor math skills *sigh*
lol I do have a few “bigger” versions… but I’m not sure if they’ll go in my cookbook yet, so I’m hanging on to the recipes and not posting yet :-?.
awww but ,Katie i said pwese ,make the option for thease ones!! I realy wanna share with ppl how yummy vegan baking is , ill get the book still !:D And i just tested this one , i was really nervous i messed up, also thoguht we’re supposed to use the big muffin pans so i bought one, but it only rose maybe halfway, that allways happens with vegan baking, it was still muffinlicious .i thought id call it a one hit wonder muffin since im not a single lady =]
what do u think about, or have u tryed throwing in some Enner-G to puff them up? I really want that big blue berry mountian effect yours has !!keep em comin katie<3
I’m gonna try that now, only with chocolate chips! Thanks! Oh, and my aunt is either vegetarian or vegan, I don’t know which, but I’m pretty sure she’s a vegetarian! : )
This. Is. AMAZING!!!!!!!!! Thank you soooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!
Katie! God bless you. I was looking for a sweet breakfast this morning and I used this recipe as inspiration for a peanut butter banana muffin. I basically used a half tablespoon peanut butter and a smushed up 1/4 of a banana in place of the oil. Delicious! Oh man and I topped it with a DELICIOUS streusel of sugar, flour, cinnamon, and a touch of coconut oil. I highly recommend it!!
Hi Katie!
I love love love your blog so very much and I want to than you for taking the time to answer each comment or inquiry very carefully and always go the extra mile. Go Katie!!,
I know this is a strange place to be asking, but have you ever been to Lush cosmetics? Their products are AMAZING!!! All of their cosmetics are vegetarian and many are vegan. They have a mint-chocolate face mask ( yup- CHOCOLATE )called cupcake that feels divine and I can’t get enough of it!!! Yes, the mask is totally vegan. Yo should try it!
Here’s their website: http://www.lushusa.com
They have everything from bath bombs, to lotion bars, to solid shampoos to henna hair dyes!!,
Mint-chocolate face mask???! Oh dear, now I have to make a trip to Lush. I have been a few times before, but the last time I was there was a few years ago. Thanks for the heads up!
Hi Katie,
I just discovered your blog and am lovin it. The first time I made this muffin, it came out horrible. I decided to use my toater oven to cook it instead of heating my house up by using the oven. Big Mistake!! It wasn’t cooking all the way through. I then decided to finish cooking it in the microwave. Another big mistake!! It came out too rubbery. Today, I decided to use my oven and make one for my daughter. It turned out perfect!! I also added a pinch of cinnamon in the recipe and some brown sugar on top before putting it in the oven. Yum!!
Hi Katie,
I love your blog! I have used so many of your recipes, and have loved them all!
But I’m trying to watch my weight, and the calorie count on these muffins seem kind of off (or I’m just very over tired and stupid right now 😉 )
In a tablespoon of coconut oil there’s already 120 calories, and the flour I use has 110 calories per 3 tablespoons, so how are these muffins only 110 calories?!
Thanks for making all of these awesome recipes 🙂
Mady
So glad I found your blog today! With one person in my home diabetic and another gluten free, many of your recipes can work for both! And I feel better about low sugar for everyone!! Yea!!
