It wasn’t that long ago I posted a blueberry muffin recipe but this low-fat version is too good not to share. Plus, you can never have enough blueberry muffins, can you?
These are based off my Low Fat Strawberry Muffin recipe, simply replaced with blueberries and added lemon.
As with the strawberry muffins, these work really well with gluten-free flour (see the photos in my strawberry muffin post to see the result).
Despite having virtually no fat in them, these muffins are unbelievably spongy and cake-like, thanks to the use of soy yoghurt.
If you can’t eat soy, feel free to use another dairy-free yoghurt but bear in mind that not all are low-fat. They’re SO easy to make and work perfectly every time.
You could mix this recipe up and use whatever berries or fruit you fancy. I’m trying apple next! Or chocolate chips… YES.
These blueberry muffins are:
- Vegan
- Dairy-free and eggless
- Nut-free (use soy milk instead of almond)
- No refined sugars
- Low fat – only 1g per muffin!
- Only 150 calories each but surprisingly filling!
- Easy to make gluten-free. (Tried and tested)
- Perfect for breakfast or as a snack.
- DELICIOUS.
