2. Prepare 2 flax eggs and let sit aside for 5 minutes. (1 tbsp of flaxseed and 2.5 tbsp of water, mixed together)


3. Add the butter and 1 cup of sugar to a large mixing bowl. Mix together as best you can, using the back of a fork will help.

5. Next add the salt, baking powder, and 1 cup of flour. Then add the soy milk and mix together. Finally, add the final cup of flour and mix again until blended well.

6. Crush 1 cup of blueberries with a fork, and mix into the batter. Then gently mix in the remaining 1 cup of whole berries.

Makes about 12 muffins.

Plant-based baking alternatives:
*Earth Balance butter
*Flaxseed for eggs
*Unsweetened soy milk has less sugar and more protein.
*Whole wheat flour has more fiber.

*These are delicious and so easy to make but I wouldn’t eat them every day because they have more butter and sugar than I’d like to eat.
