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.
Hmm, apparently my Kindle attempt at a comment didn’t show up, if it does later, I’m sorry for double posting!
I just made this muffin this morning, except did 1 T blueberries and 1 T raspberries – AMAZING COMBO! I also used 1 T sugar – probably could have cut back, applesauce – worked great, and microwaved it for 90 s + 45 s (I had a big square dish) and it turned out fantastic with my green tea. I love that its fast enough to make during my “I have 10 minutes before I have to leave and I have a million things to do” days.
As for vegans & vegetarians – I know a ton, I live near Boulder, CO which has them everywhere! I even see vegan cheese in the grocery stores around here – I don’t think there’s much you really have to give up, since there’s usually an “alternative”. Personally I just don’t want to, I love all foods, but I do like eating healthy so more sweet potato fries and less meat is always good.
I just made this delish looking muffin, cause I can’t eat gluten OR any kind of sugar or honey, so I just used a tad of stevia. I didn’t have any flour, so ground up some quinoa in my coffee grinder and added a touch of cornstarch and used that. It sort of fell apart, but it turned into a rather yummy sugar free kind of fruit slump! A new concoction!!! Yay. Thanks for the ideas.
Haha it sounds really good!!
I literally just made and ate… no, devoured… this muffin and it was scrumptious!!! And, being a single lady, I appreciate the recipes that make only one serving. Otherwise, I’d be throwing away and wasting a lot of food, or I’d be eating the whole entire thing (which is what typically happens!). Keep the great recipes coming!!! 🙂
Beautiful recipe i am gonna try it 😉 saying hello from Slovakia
I HOPE this works with quinoa flour. I’m heaving carnivorus (plus dairy)…so adding something vegan in my life might be okay for a change-up …although this muffin will likely go into a tub of yogurt!
I have tried these with oil and it comes out great! SO, will it still be good without the oil and the sauce instead (I want to try to fat-free version because my diet is strongly fat-heavy), but worry the sauce won’t be as effective.
Also, will a microwave be just as effective?? And suggested time?
I like quinoa flour (you should try it), but worry it won’t be as good ….I’ve never had spelt or others for that matter.
I do know that others have done it in the microwave. Maybe try 1 minute? It really depends on the strength of your microwave.
I don’t know if it would hold together with quinoa flour, but if you try it I’d love to know if it works!
I just made this baby. So good, using applesauce, I had to add an extra T of soy milk, and cooking time was about 20 min. Calorie-wise it came out to 150 for me.
Can I just say how much I appreciate this as a single serving recipe? It’s awesome.
This is so cute. Do you think it would work if I tried to steam the muffin batter instead of baking it
Sorry, I don’t know 🙁
this looks amazing!! i just made one, but into mini-muffins and with raspberries (i didn’t have any blueberries) and i can’t wait to try them!! thanks for the great vegan recipes, it’s hard to find good ones!
made this today, with raspberries, vegetable oil and sprinkled raw sugar on top. delish!
I made this as part of a breakfast for my son this morning – I guess it was good as there was nothing left but the cupcake liner! 😉
