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.
I know about seven vegetarians and three vegans. THEY’RE EVERYWHERE. 😉
I am totally going to be making this today in mini form, hmmm I wonder how many “mini” muffins it will yield, I’m guessing 3? I actually know a ton of vegetarians, and many vegans too actually. I was raised mostly veg, and a lot of my family are veg or vegan too 🙂 Reading some of the comments made me realize how I guess I take all the vegetarian and even vegan places around me for granted, we have a lot in CA.
the muffin looks yuuuuummy! 😀
i do know a couple of vegetarians, but unfortunately i don’t know any vegan..would be easier if i had company! but hey, i really believe being vegan is worthy all troubles! 🙂
rock on!
Your single serving recipes make me so happy, thank you for a mega blueberry version! Blueberries are near enough my favourite fruit (they frequently have rowdy fights with all other berries and bananas for top spot :D) and blueberry muffins are definitely my favourite … I do love a good double – or even triple – chocolate (healthy and vegan!) muffin, but I will pick a blueberry muffin nine times out of ten.
If this is anything like your banana bread recipe (which I frosted with your Coconut Banana Butter … my mouth is watering with the memory…), I can see myself sliding off the couch in a dazed state of bliss when I make this 🙂
Damn, I meant to write that I know exactly one vegetarian and one vegan in person: my mum went vegetarian about eight years ago, one year after I did, and my friend who has been a vegetarian for over twenty years has recently become vegan. I’ve spent the last several months stealthily manoeuvring mine and my mum’s diet towards veganism 😛
Well, I know me and you 🙂 And a couple of other blog friends (I hope they don´t mind I call them my friends) 🙂 But I don´t know any vegans or vegetarians in real life, except for some famous people :/
I don’t know any vegans in real life either! I am a vegetarian, and I know one or two, but you’d think us non-meat eaters would know more other non-meat eaters. So I know the lovely Katie, I know me, and now I know you! And by the way, I would be honored to be called your blog friend. P.S. I am in love with your blog!
Kelly, thank you so much! OK, so now I officially call you my blog friend and I am happy to get to know such a cute vegetarian girl 🙂
Right back at YOU!
I am honored to be YOUR blog friend! I know we don’t know each other very well (or in real life), but we vegans need to stick together!! 😉
These look yummy. I knew one Vegan (from a distance) who did the Oreo/Diet drink/Fritos version of Vegan. But, this is so funny/weird. My cousin went Vegan in January, my aunt and uncle followed based on the Engine 2 Diet and The China Study. I didn’t think I could do it. I didn’t think I could give up cream in my coffee (oh, nothing better than good French press coffee w/ cream) and cheese. My daughter followed my aunt and uncle and cousin and I decided I’d give it a shot. My husband agreed and we took April as the month we would try Veganism. He’s amended it a little (I still cook for him so he doesn’t get a lot of say — but he eats salmon a few times a week) but I’ve stuck with it and I LOVE it. Now. My family thinks we are all weirdos and they don’t know “what to feed YOU people” but they snarf everything we bring….and rave about it. More converts in the future methinks.
Wow, that is so awesome! And you sound a lot like me too… I never, ever thought I could give up cheese. Macaroni and cheese was my favorite food. Now I don’t even like the smell of it! It’s so interesting how our tastes can change!
I’m a vegetarian and I have several vegetarian friends, and I have two vegetarian cousins, an aunt and uncle who are vegetarian, a grandma who is vegetarian, and a cousin who is vegan! But none of my immediate family is vegetarian or vegan, so I feel slightly out of place. Oh well, I love to be different! 🙂
I. Am. Drooling. That muffin looks…. incredible? Amazing? Fabulous? None of those words really do it justice 😛 And I love how the pictures are outside, yet you managed to sneak some blue in there. I think the presence of blue in your pictures is like your signature 😉
Have a wonderful Sunday, Katie!! 😀
<3 <3
One of my best friends is a veg.! Except one of those reliant on cheese/packaged snacks :C
It looks rainy outside where you are…even a thousand or so miles away from Irene!
Haha it’s actually not! We could use the rain… it’d cool things off!
What a great idea! I’m totally going to use this recipe as I just moved into an apartment for a job and live by myself. Looks DELISH!
Can I bake this in a 1 cup ramekin? I don’t want to use a whole muffin pan for just 1 muffin!
Yes! 🙂
