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.
Im not a vegetarian anymore. Im off and on. I have no will power. But i proudky can say that for over two years i have used only cruelty free products! I even got my mom into it. But when i was a vegetarian everyone at my work thought it was fascinating and they were very supportive. Im very lucky to have that with my coworkers. Anyways katies i dod over mix bc my dough came out crumbly. So i added more soy milk until it was jsut battery enough. My muffin came out blue but so gosh darn yummy! I had that and a tall glass of vanilla soymilk for breakfast. Such a nicr change from eggs in a mug of iatmeal or even a protein bar.
Help! This was a total fail for me. Followed the directions exactly, but the “batter” was clumpy and never really baked (I made it in a conventional oven). Didn’t have the texture of a muffin at all. Any suggestions? Would be helpful to see a photo of what your uncooked mixture looked like before baking.
Hi Lisa,
Did you read the Recipe FAQ page at the top of her blog? Please read through her troubleshooting section of that page, then reply back here after reading with more specifics!

Heya,
Really want to make a batch of these to encouraged my lil’ cousins to a) eat breakfast before school and b) eat less crap- can you just multiply this recipe up for a bigger batch, or will it go nasty on me ?
Use this recipe!

I just made this for breakfast, and holy moly, let me tell you how good this was. Yummy! I think this is going to be my breakfast everyday until I get over this new obsession with these muffins! Love your blog, btw!
I was vegetarian for three years, started eating fish and meat about half a year ago and am now thinking about going veggie again 🙂 I know a lot of people who are vegetarian (actually, it’s pretty common in Germany) and a classmate of mine is vegan.
I saw a girl making cupcakes in the microwave and using those paper forms on youtube, isn’t that dangerous?
The photos, the cheeky/hilarious commentary, and of course the deliciousness and creativity of the recipes themselves. So well done. “Single-lady style!” — love.
Such a great site.
I just found this recipe after you posted it on instagram and I’ve already made it twice, and because I can’t leave anything alone I had a little play with it….
On Tuesday I had a friend coming over for coffee so I doubled the recipe (I used 1tbsp oil 1tbsp applesauce, 1 tbsp sugar and 1teaspoon agave). I made it in what we call in the uk fairy cake cases, which are smaller than muffin cases. This gave me 5 little muffins which were lovely and I had 2 leftover after my friend left for the kids when they got back from school.
Tonight I had another go….
I tripled the recipe this time, using 3tsp whole wheat flour, 3tbsp spelt and 3 tbsp white flour. I did half oil half applesauce again and 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp agave. It didn’t need a third because of the sweetness of the applesauce. I spilt the recipe into 2 bowls and mixed a handful of frozen raspberries in one bowl and 2 crushed Oreos into the other.
We made them in tiny mini muffin cases and got 16 cute little muffins. With the Oreo ones we popped 2 chocolate chips in each muffin before they went in the oven.
The raspberry ones were a gorgeous pink colour, my little girl was thrilled. I only got one of each flavour before 2 kids and Hubble demolished the rest. A fairly healthy Friday night treat!
We are in love with the blog, this is the 5th recipe we’ve tried (I only discovered it a week and a half ago!) and each one is better!
Thanks

Thank you so much for this. I can make many different types of muffin with this. (I like muffins, my husband does not. And I’m not about to tempt myself by making a dozen or more.)
Can someone supply me with the nutritional information or the weight watchers points for the single serving of the blueberry muffin? I didn’t see that information when I clicked on single serving blueberry muffin nutrition facts. Thanks in advance.
