Ingredients You’ll Need
Please check the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact quantities and detailed instructions (scroll down).
- Flour: Standard all-purpose flour works best here, skip the cake flour, bread flour and wheat flour.
- Sugar: Regular white sugar, also known as caster sugar.
- Salt: I prefer kosher or sea salt. If you only have table salt handy, I recommend reducing the amount to half.
- Baking powder and baking soda: Make sure they’re not expired.
- Blueberries: You can use fresh or frozen blueberries. If using frozen, do not thaw.
- Buttermilk: You don’t have buttermilk? No problem!! Check out my recipe of Easy Homemade Buttermilk Substitute [Video].
- Apple cider vinegar: You can also use white vinegar.
- Butter: I prefer to use unsalted butter, but if you only have salted butter handy, you can use it. In this case, skip the salt called in the recipe.
- Pure vanilla extract: For optimal flavor, reach for pure vanilla instead of imitation. Even better, try homemade vanilla extract!

2 – Mix Dry Ingredients – Whisk the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda together in a large bowl until combined. Add blueberries and mix to coat with flour mixture.
3 – Combine Wet Ingredients – In a mixing bowl combine buttermilk, vinegar, butter, and vanilla.
4 – Mix Dry and Wet – Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix everything together by hand. Please do not overmix. The batter will be thick and a little lumpy.
5 – Fill muffin cups right to the top, and sprinkle with additional sugar, if desired.
6 – Bake at 425º F for 5 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350º F and continue baking until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about another 15 -1 8 minutes.
Eggless Muffins Baking Tips
Measure the ingredients correctly. I highly recommend using a kitchen scale.
Preheat the oven at least 15 minutes before you get started to give it plenty of time to reach the ideal recipe temperature.
Don’t overmix the batter. Mix just until you’ve evenly distributed the ingredients throughout the batter.
Bake the muffins as soon as the batter is ready. Bake at 425ºF (190ºC) for 5 minutes, and then reduce the oven temperature to 350ºF (180ºC). This initial high oven temperature will help to quickly lift up the muffin top.
Don’t open the oven door until the muffins have set. Leave the oven closed until the minimum time is stated in the recipe.
Every oven is different, so baking times always have to be taken with a grain of salt. Oven thermostats can be wildly off, and that will all affect baking time, so keep an eye on yours. The muffins are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you can use frozen blueberries to make muffins. If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw.
Yes, you can use oil. However, butter adds a surprising amount of flavor to the muffins so if possible I recommend using butter.
I recommend using 1 cup of all-purpose flour + 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour. The texture of the muffins will be denser.
Follow the same recipe and bake at 350°F for about 12 – 15 minutes. Makes about 24 mini muffins.
Adapt This Recipe to Other Food Allergies
This recipe is egg-free and nut-free, but you can certainly adapt it to other food allergies.
Gluten-Free
Substitute all-purpose flour for 1-to-1 Gluten-Free flour mix. My favorite brands are Cup4Cup and King Arthur. Just be sure to stir the batter longer than normal to help give the baked goods proper structure. Also, gluten-free batters need to rest. So let your batter rest for about 30 minutes, so the flour has time to hydrate and soften before baking it.
Dairy-Free
Use your favorite plant-based, dairy-free, or vegan butter and milk. Make sure to use an unflavored, unsweetened variety of non-dairy milk. Soy and oat milk have the best consistency and very neutral flavors. My favorite dairy-free butter brands for baking are:
Storing & Freezing Instructions
Store
Muffins can be stored covered at room temperature for 3-4 days, then transfer to the fridge for up to 1 week.
Freeze
Muffins can also be frozen for up to 3 months. Cool muffins completely then wrap them with foil or freezer wrap and place in freezer bags.
Thaw
Unthaw frozen muffins in the refrigerator and then bring to room temperature or warm up in the microwave or in a 300°F oven for 4 – 5 minutes if desired.
