Vegan Blueberry and Almond Muffins

These muffins are stuffed with blueberries and almond butter and are a total crowd-pleaser!

When I discovered Pip and Nuts Blueberry Muffin Almond butter, I knew I had to make ACTUAL muffins and they did not disappoint, nor did they last long in my house. I wanted to make these for a grab and go breakfast option, because eating cake (or muffins) for breakfast is the best option ever. Back to the almond butter though, it really does have a blueberry muffin sweetness to it, you can smell it before you taste it and it reminds of those big fluffy muffins you see in Costcos, proper American muffins you know the ones. I don't know how I didn't grab a spoon and eat the whole jar of almond butter. These muffins are so easy to make and are so gooey and moist they really won't last very long, but arguably make a great meal prep option.

  3. In a large bowl, combine both flours, sugar, baking powder and salt and mix together. 
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the applesauce with the almond butter and mix together well.
  5. Then add this to the flour mix along with the soya milk and combine everything together. 
  6. Spoon a teaspoon of batter into each cupcake case. Then fold the blueberries through the remaining muffin batter in the large bowl. 
  7. Fill the cupcake cases with about 2 tbsp of batter in each until all used up and then sprinkle the flaked almonds on top of each one.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until a knife inserted comes out clean.
