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.
How is this vegan if there’s milk in it?
Katie uses nondairy milk, which is why it says milk of choice. You can use whatever you wish, such as almond or soy milk.
Hi! Can I substitute the spelt flour with almond meal or coconut flour or both? Forgot to get spelt today when I was shopping! 🙁 Can’t wait to try these though.
I think I overmixed because I have a blue muffin
WOW!!! This was really really really really really great! Thank you so much!!!!!!
Do you usually use applesauce or oil? What are your thoughts on one vs the other?
I made this, but a banana walnut version. I substituted the blueberries for some mashed banana and a handful of walnuts. I also had no baking powder so I used a mixture of baking soda and apple cider vinegar (a third of the amount of baking powder) instead. I also dusted some cinnamon on top. My muffin came out all wonky and funny-shaped but it still tasted great. There were a few sour spots, but that was probably due to my bad mixing + the fact that I forgot stevia. All the same, tasted great.
Hi! This was a few years ago, but I think I used an oven for that one 🙂
So good. I like this recipe because I despise wasting food. Many recipes for one or two call for part of an egg. What do I do with the rest?
Can you replace the spelt flour with almond flour?
You can always experiment!
This was delicious but baked far too long – 35 Minutes and was not giant.
