Mini Vegan Lemon Blueberry Muffins: super cute, mini-sized moist vegan lemon blueberry muffins. Bright blueberry & fresh lemon flavor packed into tiny vegan muffins!
What is it about mini-sized things that are so darn cute?? Is it that they’re so tiny that you feel like they’re made for adorable babies? Or is it that holding such a tiny thing makes you feel like a giant and thus that mini thing is so cute?
Ahh… the deep, philosophical questions I often grapple with. 😉
Today’s vegan lemon blueberry muffins not only look cute, but taste it. Okay, fine… there’s no such thing as tasting cute—but surely sprinkles and mini koala-bear-shaped pastries can disagree.
Are you ready to experience the delight, the cuteness, and the straight-up fresh homemade vibes of mini vegan lemon blueberry muffins? Let’s bake this!
How to Make Vegan Lemon Blueberry Muffins – Mini-style!
Step 1: Preheat
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Then, drop some mini muffin liners into a mini muffin pan.
Step 2: Sift
Grab a large mixing bowl and sift together all of the dry ingredients into the bowl.
Step 3: Heat
Heat up the water and milk until warm. We do this to avoid chilling, and thus solidifying, the melted coconut oil you’ll be using soon.
Step 4: Whisk
Now, whisk together all of the wet ingredients.
Step 5: Combine
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients. Whisk everything together until thoroughly combined. Fold in fresh blueberries. You’ve just made your vegan lemon blueberry muffin batter!
Step 6: Pour Batter
Pour the batter into the mini muffin pan you lined earlier.
Step 7: Bake, Cool & Enjoy
Bake muffins for about 18 minutes. Cool, then enjoy your deliciously homemade vegan lemon blueberry muffins!

Description
Mini Vegan Lemon Blueberry Muffins: super cute, mini-sized moist vegan lemon blueberry muffins. Bright blueberry & fresh lemon flavor packed into tiny vegan muffins!
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups oat flour
- ½ cup finely ground, blanched almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup + 2 tablespoons water
- ½ cup non-dairy milk
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- zest of 1 lemon (2 tablespoons)
- 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Add-in Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a mini-muffin pan with mini muffin liners. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, sift together all the dry ingredients: oat flour, almond flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
- Add water and 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 these liquids.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all wet ingredients: water, milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, 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 big, round tops, and ¾ of the way for a larger quantity of smaller muffins. Bake for 13-19 minutes. Mine took 18 minutes. 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 30 minutes. Then, gently lift muffins out of the pan and place directly onto a cooling rack to cool for 20 more minutes. Enjoy immediately, or cool completely for about 1 hour before storing. Storing instructions below.

Hi Demeter,
I think I asked under a different blueberry muffin recipe about using frozen blueberries, but I decided to go with this one. I just made them and they are delicious! I forgot to allow extra baking time for frozen blueberries but it was ok, I had thawed them and got them to room temp. I had extra batter so I made a mini loaf(photo on IG, @cindyblueneedle). I will def make these again! Thanks for the recipe!

Tabitha says
Hi, is it possible to use something like applesauce instead of the coconut oil in this recipe?
Demeter | Beaming Baker says
Hi Tabitha! I haven’t tried applesauce in these muffins, but I do have a blueberry applesauce muffin recipe you might like: Gluten Free Vegan Blueberry Applesauce Muffins. Hope this helps! 🙂
Michelle says
So excited to try! Will frozen blueberries work???
★★★★★
Demeter | Beaming Baker says
They should work fine! Just watch out, because frozen blueberries tend to leak color into the rest of the batter. 😉
Michelle says
I have actually tried and I can attest to the color leak! 😂
★★★★
Michelle says
Sooo yummy! A batch made 32 minis for me and my oven only needed 14-15 minutes. I made a batch and a half. The second time I added 2 teaspoons more zest and a tsp more juice for more lemony yumminess! I also used canola oil and brown sugar. I can also attest to the color leakage that happens with frozen blueberries! Still really cute and yummy 😋. Thanks again, Demeter! ❤️ I’m done baking for our outdoor church service! Yayyyy! 💃🙏

Maria Masellis says
Hi Demeter, I’d like to bake these blueberry and lemon. Could you please tell me what I could substitute the oat flour with and how much I would need. Is there a standard gluten-free flour and measurement that could be used for baking cookies, bars and muffins? I appreciate your help.
Thank you! 🤗
Demeter | Beaming Baker says
Hi Maria! I’ve had some readers swap the oat flour for GF AP flours with good results, but I haven’t tried it myself here. Don’t have a standard swap ratio, but it’s something I’ve been compiling info on and hope to crack one day. 😁 Hope this helps!
