Ingredients

  • 2 ¼ cups All Purpose Flour (282g)
  • 1 cup White Granulated Sugar (200g)
  • 3 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Vegan Buttermilk (240ml) 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice + Soy Milk up to the 1 cup Line
  • cup Applesauce (80ml)
  • cup Coconut Oil (80ml) Melted
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 ½ cups Blackberries (216g) Chopped
  • 1 teaspoon All Purpose Flour To roll the blackberries

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Spray a muffin tray with non-stick spray. Set aside.
  • Sift the all purpose flour into a mixing bowl and add the white sugar, baking powder and salt.
  • Prepare the vegan buttermilk by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to a measuring jug and then adding soy milk up to the 1 cup (240ml) line and letting it curdle.
  • Add the vegan buttermilk, applesauce, melted coconut oil and vanilla into the mixing bowl and mix into a thick batter.
  • Add 1 cup of the blackberries to a bowl with the 1 teaspoon of all purpose flour and toss until lightly coated in the flour. Add the blackberries to the batter and fold in.
  • Divide the batter between the muffin partitions of the prepared muffin tray. Add the remaining ½ cup of blackberries directly to the top of the muffins.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned on top and a toothpick inserted into one of the muffins comes out clean (it may have some blackberries on it and that is fine, but no wet batter).
  • Transfer the muffins to a wire cooling rack and allow to cool before serving.

Notes

  1. Weigh your flour - it's ideal to weigh it out on a food scale for the most accurate results OR make sure to use the spoon and level method for measuring flour which is the correct way to measure flour if using cups. Spoon your flour into the measuring cup and then level off the top with a knife. Don't scoop it and don't pack it into the cup. 
  2. Vegan buttermilk - can also be made with almond milk, though soy milk is a creamier thicker milk so tends to work better.
  3. Applesauce - an alternative to the applesauce is the same amount of mashed banana.
  4. Storing: Keep them stored in a covered container at room temperature for around 3 days. You can also keep them in the fridge (covered) and they will stay good for up to a week. They are also freezer friendly.
