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.
Great idea – eager to make one!
I love muffins, esp. this blueberry kind. But I pinned this on Pinterest and now I desperately want to win a cuisine art!! Since starting to read this blog I had to get one, but my blender is so small and not powerful. =( I could do so much more with this one!!!
I repinned this microwave muffin on Pinterest because what else does a college girl need for late night studying!? (Well, besides tons and tons of coffee of course) (:
im mostly vegan but not 100% percent yet. i dont really know many vegans or vegatarians closley but i have loose relationships with quite a few. my aunt only eats meat that she think is treated humainly, my friends mom was a vegatarian growing up, i once met vegatarian in a public pool, a girl in my art class is a vegatarian, my friends grandma is a vegan, my friend is a vegatarian, and my parents friend is a vegan. then of course theres my favorite vegan chocoholic, YOU 🙂
That looks so good, can’t wait to try making this 😀
I actually have had really great success with the applesauce variation. but, i added 1/4 tsp baking soda (for a double batch) and a few drops of apple cider vinegar. my cake rose nicely, was fluffy, and not dense! these mug cakes are addictive, by the way. =)
Delish! Definitely gonna be making a GF version for my family! 🙂
Mine fell flat and it didn’t look anywhere near as beautiful/round/moist as your muffin did! I was wondering if that happened because I didn’t wait for the coconut oil to soften/turn into actual oil before adding it. Any tips/ideas?
Definitely use it as liquid. Otherwise there won’t be enough liquid in the recipe.
I made these this morning but used black currants instead of blueberries. They turned out pretty good, but the batter was so dry. I added a little more milk…maybe next time I’ll melt the coconut oil first.
The muffins didn’t rise at all…they came out as the exact clumps I put in the cups (I made mini muffins). Is that normal?
Definitely melt the oil first. Also, I haven’t made mini muffins so I really don’t know.
Yuuum!!! I had one of these for breakfast! It was super good! I didn’t put any sweetener in it, but I used mashed banana instead of the coconut oil, and that turned out great! My mom introduced me to this blog a couple weeks ago, and I love the single-serving recipes.
I don’t know any vegetarians or vegans, and I’m neither. Last year, I did a candida diet for a few months, and ever since I’ve gotten into healthy food. Though I’m not vegetarian or vegan, I love your desserts because I can eat good food without feeling bad about all the carbs I’ve consumed.
