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.
Looks awesome!Love the single girl lady style!
This looks exactly like my favorite vegan muffin, the blueberry muffin at Le Pain Quotidien. My muffins never turn out with that perfect top…any advice? I know not to overmix, but do you have batter scooping tips, do you use an ice cream scoop? Did you use a regular muffin tin?
The best trick: smooth the top with a knife! It makes it look perfect every time :).
I do use a regular muffin tin, and just a spoon to scoop it out.
This looks so delicious!! I’m going to try making it using a coffee cup instead of using the muffin pan:)
No, I do wish I knew vegans in my neighborhood:(
My best friend is a vegetarian, and I am a vegan!! 🙂
And my other friend has PKU, so she can’t eat a lot of protein, so shes pretty much a vegetarian/vegan as well! 🙂
OMG–totally bookmarking this. Love! And for the muffin tin, are they just regular sized? Or do you need a special pan?
I just use a regular muffin tin. I spray only one of the cups with oil spray.
hey katie, m gonna make this rite now! looks great…just wndering though, looked at the nutritional value, and when i add it up it equated to way more than 110 cals…just made me wonder ive got the measurements rite?
3 tbsp flour (i make this 40grams?) and 1 tbsp coconut (…about 15 gram?)….or is this too much lol…any help would be great….xx
I use 30g spelt flour. And the nutrition facts are for the basic single-lady cupcake. They’re calculated with the applesauce option.
I’m a pescetarian! Does that count? 😛 Haha, I do know many vegetarians though. I originally wanted to go full veg, but this is my compromise with my parents. (I, like you, am technically underweight, and they’re already worried enough about me… sigh.)
I was a pescetarian first, too! But that only lasted around a week… because the only fish I even liked were fish sticks!
9That is so weird, I made blueberry muffins this morningl (although I made a big batch, so the whole family could join the fun!).
I think we share a brain! (Or maybe that is wishful thinking on my part….)
i love single serving recipes, because I typically am cooking for just myself and it’s always a hassle to have to try and scale down recipes, so thank you!!
I’m a vegetarian, so now we all know another!!
What a great recipe! I really love all your single serving recipes. My biggest problem living alone is that I never want to make a batch of anything because then I’m left with the whole thing! I have some fresh blueberries from the farmers market yesterday, so I’ll have to try this out!
Yum. I need to make this asap!
I know a handful of vegetarians, but no vegans. Meat-eating is pretty big here in Wisconsin (have you heard of our famous bratwursts?…Yuck!), so I don’t think vegetarians/vegans are as prevalent as they may be in other parts of the country.
Haha sounds like here… with our brisket! 😕
