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.
Oh My Goodness these were so good! I doubled the recipe and made 9 mini corn muffins . mmmm I could eat 20 of these!
Hi Katie! I made these muffins but they came out with a gummy texture. I used only half of the applesauce to substitute the oil but I replaced the other half with flaxseed. What do you think? They baked for about 20 minutes. Thx!
Unfortunately, I really can’t give advice about a substitution if I haven’t tried it.
I know what I’m making for breakfast tomorrow! This looks so good. I knew a lot of vegetarians, but didn’t really know too many vegans before I joined a vegan meetup group. Then I met soooo many new people, and discovered great vegan restaurants at the same time!
Hi Katie!
Thanks for this! I made one this morning for breakfast and it was gone in no time! My husband asked for some chocolate chip muffins. Do you think I could chocolate chips for the blueberries? Also, if I wanted to make more than one at a time, should I just adjust the recipe accordingly or do you think I’d need to make some other alterations?
Love this blog!!

Thanks so much for trying it :). Yes I think you could just sub chocolate chips. Or just use this recipe:

About the spelt flour, I am lead to believe it is only a healthier alternative to normal flour. If using normal “plain flour,” will that alter the flavour or texture at all and if so, will it be impacted severely?
For this recipe, you can definitely use regular all-purpose flour with good results. I’ve done it and know many others have as well, so you should be fine to use it. 🙂
So, what if I wanted to make a dozen? Just multiply everything by 12? Can you help me out on that? And the baking time? Thanks!
I was wondering, is it okay to sub in other fruit? I am out out blueberries but I have several clementines.
Do you have a single-serving muffin tin?
this looks delish! I love everything you make! but, I am looking for a moist, healthy blueberry muffin/bread recipe but I can’t seem to find one! (obviously more than one serving or I’d use this one 😉 I want something that tastes good, because I have some people who don’t like the taste of healthy muffins! the only thing I really would like is for it to be naturally sweetened (honey, maple syrup…). maybe one day you could come up with a recipe! anyways, you are my favorite dessert blogger ever and please continue to make AMAZING desserts!
Aw thanks, Tala. I do have a blueberry muffin recipe (large serving) to be posted very soon… maybe that could be cooked in a loaf pan. In the meantime, maybe just use blueberries instead of the strawberries here? https://lett-trim.today/2011/10/10/fat-free-banana-bread/%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E
thanks for the suggestion! ill definitely try the blueberry banana bread 🙂 and I can’t wait to see the new recipe!
I just made this, and it is delicious! Thank you for sharing such wonderful recipes with us 🙂
