Vegan Flourless Blender Blueberry Mini Muffins

We subtracted the flour, dairy products and eggs from these healthy mini muffins, which are vegan and gluten-free. But we left in all the good stuff--like tons of juicy berries in every bite. Applesauce and brown sugar make these blender muffins moist and provide just the right amount of sweetness for breakfast or a snack.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups rolled oats (see Tip)

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce

  • ⅓ cup packed light brown sugar

  • 3 tablespoons canola oil

  • 3 tablespoons water

  • 1 tablespoon flaxmeal

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ¾ cup blueberries, cut in half if large

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 24-cup mini muffin tin with cooking spray.

  2. Pulse oats in a blender until finely ground. Add baking powder, baking soda and salt; pulse once or twice to combine. Add applesauce, brown sugar, oil, water, flaxmeal and vanilla; puree until smooth. Stir in blueberries. Divide the batter among the muffin cups.

  3. Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 28 minutes. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then turn out to cool completely.

Tips

Tip: People with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should use oats that are labeled "gluten-free," as oats are often cross-contaminated with wheat and barley.

Equipment: 24-cup mini muffin tin

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
