Healthy Moist Blueberry Muffins Recipe (V, GF): this gluten free vegan blueberry muffins recipe is quick ‘n healthy! It’s the best healthy moist blueberry muffins recipe from scratch! Dairy-Free, Refined Sugar-Free.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten free oat flour – if using homemade oat flour, make sure it’s very finely ground (not coarse)*
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup + 2 tablespoons non-dairy milk
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Add-in Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries
Optional Topping
- 2–3 tablespoons fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with muffin liners. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, sift together all the dry ingredients: oat flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
- Add milk to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 10-second increments until just warm. This will prevent the melted coconut oil from solidifying once mixed with the milk.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all wet ingredients: milk, lemon juice, oil, sugar, maple syrup and vanilla. Whisk until well incorporated.
- Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Whisk until just incorporated, making sure no flour patches remain. Fold in blueberries.
- Pour batter evenly into prepared muffin pan—filling each cup all the way to the top for a smaller quantity of big, round-topped muffins, and ¾ of the way for a larger quantity of smaller muffins. Optionally, press blueberries into the muffin tops. Bake for 22-30 minutes. Mine took 26 minutes for big, high-top muffins. Insert a toothpick to check for doneness—once it comes out clean, it’s done.
- Place muffin pan on a cooling rack to cool for 20 minutes. Remove muffins from muffin pan and transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely, about 1-2 hours. Enjoy! Storing instructions below.

Could I replace the oil with apple puree or a nut butter? Thanks
Hi Unity, try subbing the oil with apple purée and see how you like the texture first. If it’s too moist, leave out a tablespoon for the next batch. Enjoy!
These are delicious! I made a few subs- 1/2 oat flour and 1/2 GF all purpose flour, regular sugar instead of coconut, 1/2 fresh and 1/2 frozen blueberries, and apple cider vinegar because I didn’t have any lemon juice. They still ended up really tasty! Thanks!
★★★★★
Awesome! So glad to hear you enjoyed them with the subs Kat!
Just made this recipe @ 5:00am for my daughter’s breakfast, healthy and amazing. Beaming Baker does it AGAIN! Thank you! .
★★★★★
Fresh-baked muffins for breakfast?!? .. Is there anything better? So glad you’re continuing to enjoy my recipes, Kami!! Big hugs!!
Can I use Almond milk instead of non dairy milk?
Yep! I typically use almond milk in mine. 🙂
Can you use Honey instead of Maple syrup?
Hi Cindy! Yep, that should be fine. Happy baking!
I made these yesterday, but I didn’t have coconut sugar so I used erythritol along with the maple syrup. I got 10 muffins from the mix. I sprinkled a little flax meal on as well. Very good!
★★★★★
So cool that the erythritol worked! Thanks for letting me know about the substitute and your results. Happy you enjoyed my recipe! 🙂
This recipe sounds awesome! I’m planning on trying it out sometime next week. Could raw cane sugar possibly be used instead of coconut sugar?
Thanks Nyia! I think raw cane sugar would work just fine. Let me know how it turns out! 🙂 Happy baking!
Made the muffins today with the raw cane sugar, and they turned out great! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!
★★★★★
Hi Nyia! Thanks so much for reporting back. 🙂 I’m so pleased to hear that you loved them. Happy eating! 😉
My new favorite muffin recipe. Added hemp seeds for additional plant powered protein and a little more milk as the seeds thickens the batter !
★★★★★
Oh that’s so wonderful to hear Tiff! Glad it worked out for you with the hemp seeds!
Um, yum! I think sifting the oat flour really helped. I also just added the maple syrup for sweetener and found it just right. This is my first vegan muffin attempt and it is delicious! Thank you so much for a fabulous recipe. Better yet my 2 year old and husband loved them too.
★★★★★
Yay!!! Oh yes, sifting the homemade oat flour really helps. 🙂 I’m truly so happy to hear that your very 1st vegan muffin attempt went wonderfully. Phew! Happy baking (and eating) to you and your fam. ❤️
Hallelujah and Amen!! At last some healthy baking that my nine year old daughter will eat!! She has been refusing to eat her healthy lunches and comes back home from school with nearly all her food – the exception being what she manages to trade for a slice or a chocolate muffin made by one of her friends’ mums. But when I gave her one of these muffins not only did she not spit it out – but she kept on eating. And not only did she eat it all – but SHE ASKED FOR ANOTHER ONE!!! Demeter, you have rescued me!!! I was on the verge of caving and just giving her the unhealthy food she desired. But now I know you really can make healthy food taste good, I can’t wait to try your other recipes. Thank you so much!!!
Oh my WOW!! Olivia, I am so thrilled to read your comment!! It is one of my biggest goals in life to show that healthy food can taste just as good as unhealthy food—especially when I make treats for my mom (who didn’t believe it til I started proving it lol). Your experience with your daughter is so inspiring and motivating for me. Three cheers for you for making her healthy treats from scratch!! (How lucky is she??) Can’t wait to see what you try next!
What did I do wrong?!
Mine turned out pretty badly.
Better was too dry, added a little bit more milk & coconut oil.
Taste was great but they resembled something like cookies rather than muffins !!!
P.s first time making something healthy with no butter etc ….
Hi Maria, oh no! It’s a bit hard to say what happened since I wasn’t there in the kitchen with you… 🙁 Let’s see: well, I definitely wouldn’t recommend altering the batter unless you’d already tried/baked the recipe and it didn’t suit you. Secondly, did you make any changes or subs to the recipe? For example, used coconut flour instead of oat flour? Or made your own homemade oat flour? I hope I can help! 🙂
Can you use Frozen Blueberries?
Hi Carly, that might work! I haven’t tried it myself… so let me know how it turns out! 🙂
It worked out great!
Awesome!! Thanks for letting me know! 🙂
I did and they were magic!
I’ve made these muffins multiple times now, and each time they’re amazing! I love Beaming Baker’s recipes. I omitted the coconut sugar altogether, and they were still very sweet! I added cardamom, nutmeg, and cinnamon too. Love this website!
★★★★★
Hi Mimsi! Woohoo!!!! I’m seriously so happy to hear all of this! 🙂 It’s so cool to hear about your changes & your add-ins. Isn’t cardamom the best? Big hugs!!!
I love this recipe! These muffins are divine. I ate so many of them! Perfectly easy recipe, and awesome results. The more blueberries, the better. These muffins taste super good refrigerated too, but I don’t mind cold food as a principle so that may just be my personal taste. I always love Beaming Baker’s recipes (you can’t go wrong!)
★★★★★
Yay!!!! Love that you couldn’t resist these, Isalee! ❤️❤️ Btw, this —> “I always love Beaming Baker’s recipes (you can’t go wrong!)” just MADE MY YEAR!! Big hugs & wishes for many, many more tasty, fun baking sessions for you, love! (With super cold treats!!)
Is it possible to use gluten free flour? Not GF oat flour? Thank you!
Hi Remi! Yep, that should work fine. 🙂
Will almond flour work?
Hi Mary, unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend it. Oat flour is much drier & more absorbent of wet ingredients than almond flour.
Can i use gluten free all purpose flour instead of oat flour?
Hi Mariana! Yep, that should work fine. 🙂
Hi Demeter, You’ve done it again. Your muffins are cooling on the rack and now are ready to taste. They are fab. This is another successful recipe. Thanks once again. I really think alot of your capabilities as a recipe developer. I will be using this for my next shin-dig at church, of which many people are gluten sensitive.
Hi Dezi, I’m so happy to hear that you’ve enjoyed another one of my recipes! Your words and your compliments mean a lot to me. Hope everyone at church enjoys!
These are great! I used milk because that’s what I had, and avocado oil because my coconut oil smelled a bit off, and added some lemon zest.
Ooh smelly oil is no good. . So Happy to hear you enjoyed the muffins!
I love how packed with blueberries these muffins are! So delicious!
★★★★★
Exactly! Bursting with blueberries! .
These will be the best muffins to serve to my kids tomorrow to celebrate the first day of summer! They look like little bites of heaven!
★★★★★
Oh that sounds like so much fun! . Hope your kiddos enjoyed them!
My daughter loves blueberry muffins but she usually just picks out the blueberries! But not with these sweet treats; she gobbled up the whole thing!
★★★★★
LOL! Well I’m honored to hear she was such a fan of these! .
Sounds fantastic! Definitely having this for breakfast, such a perfect way to start the day!
★★★★★
Oh I couldn’t agree more Melanie!
Can we use regular milk instead non dairy milk if i am making non vegan muffins
Thanks
Anita
Hi Anita! I haven’t tried it, but that should work fine. Let me know how they turn out! 🙂
These muffins look so delicious! Definitely making a batch of these for breakfast tomorrow
★★★★★
