Vegan Blueberry Lemon Streusel Muffins

Recipe for vegan Blueberry Lemon Streusel Muffins. The tangy lemon streusel and the sweet blueberry muffins are a match made in heaven. So easy to make and so good! Make them for your friends and family and earn hugs! 

Ever since I made this Rhubarb Crumble Cake, I have a thing for streusel now. I want to put them on everything I bake in the oven. For this vegan Blueberry Lemon Streusel recipe I gave the streusel a little twist by adding freshly grated lemon zest into the mixture. The tangy lemon streusel go perfectly well with the sweet blueberry muffins. It’s a flavor combination you don’t want to miss in your life :)

These vegan Blueberry Lemon Streusel Muffins are omnivore-approved! My work colleagues loved them!

The blueberry muffin base is super easy to make – and it’s a one-bowl recipe! Simply combine the dry ingredients, then add in the wet ingredients and whisk until smooth.

In this recipe, I added the frozen blueberries shortly before the crumble. I’ve divided the muffin batter into the muffin liners and after that added the frozen blueberries on top. I used the end of a spoon to press them deeper into the muffin batter. My reason for doing so? I wanted to keep the light color of the muffin base. If I mix the frozen blueberries into the batter and whisk or fold, the whole batter gets a purple/blue color, which can be nice, but in this recipe I wanted to have a light muffin base.

• ▢ 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• ▢ 1 pinch salt
• ▢ 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil
• ▢ 2/3 cup almond milk or your favorite plant-based milk
• ▢ 1/2 teaspoon coconut vinegar*
• ▢ 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ▢ 1/2 cup frozen blueberries

• Now is the perfect time to make the LEMON STREUSEL. Combine the butter, flour, sugar and lemon zest in a large bowl and knead with your hands until it's nice and crumbly.
• Fill the batter in muffin wrappers or use a lightly oiled muffin pan. Place a few frozen blueberries on each muffin and press them down with the end of a spoon. Sprinkle the lemon streusel on top. Put the muffins in the oven for about 20 minutes. If the streusel have a nice golden color the muffins are surely done.

Notes

*Coconut vinegar is mild vinegar which I prefer for my baked goods. You can substitute it with apple cider vinegar for example.
