Blueberry Muffins

We love blueberry muffins. Especially with the yummy streusel topping. While we’re not actually vegan, we do a lot of vegan cooking and baking in our household. I’m a vegetarian, and our daughter is not fond of eggs. So, we experiment. These delicious Vegan Blueberry Muffins are a result of one such experiment. The crunchy streusel and the fantastic fresh organic berries really make these a hearty and delicious breakfast. You might want to consider doubling the recipe. Just in case.

    I don’t use margarine, can butter be substituted equally?

    • kristi says:

      Yes, you can substitute butter for the margarine equally and eggs for the applesauce if you like. The margarine and applesauce are substitutes to make the recipe vegan. It would be 1 egg per 1/4 cup of applesauce and equal amounts butter for margarine.

    Wow these really look yummy. Really new to the site says serves 4 is that 1 muffin each? We really need to work on our portion control here at my house, our serving size ALWAYS seems to be more than recommended…which also means so is our waistlines.LOL Thanks for all the hard work that goes into this site–love it!

      The 4 serving portion is a total of 12 muffins (3/serving) in my muffin tin. This could vary based on tin-size or how much you fill the muffin cups.
