Jumbo blueberry muffins.
Have you ever seen the jumbo muffins they sell at places like Costco and Sam’s Club? Yesterday, out of the blue (pun intended), those muffins just popped into my mind. And suddenly… I wanted one!
I still had some leftover blueberries from the Blueberry Ketchup.
So I quickly threw them into a single-lady cupcake mix and was eating my very own single-serving blueberry muffin only ten minutes later.
Blueberry Muffin for One
Makes one cupcake, Single-Lady style!
- 3 tbsp spelt flour (30g) (or ww pastry, white, or Bob’s gluten-free)
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- heaping 1/16 tsp salt
- 1-2 tbsp blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp unrefined coconut oil (You can sub a different oil; however the coconut oil gives it a rich flavor and fun texture. You can use applesauce for a fat-free version.)
- 1 tbsp plus 1 tsp milk of choice (Use less if using liquid sweetener.)
- 1 tbsp sugar (or 1 packet stevia) I omitted, but most people will want some sweetener
Preheat your oven to 330 degrees. (Or see microwave note, below.) Mix dry ingredients, then add wet. Mix until just combined (don’t overmix), and bake for 17 minutes or so. (Baking time will vary, depending on the flour and oil/applesauce you use.)
See the original single-lady post for Nutritional Information.
If you don’t want to heat your oven for just one muffin, you can make this in the microwave! Just grease/spray a little dish, pour batter in, heat for 90-ish seconds, and enjoy!
Try this muffin topped with Creamy Dreamy Frosting.
It’ll change your life. Or at least your snack!
Plant Power:
After finishing my muffin, I watched a CNN special on Bill Clinton, who credits his new vegan diet with saving his life. Did you know he’s a vegan?! Vegans used to be seen as weird and out of the ordinary. But thanks to famous vegans such as Ellen DeGeneres, Paul McCartney, and Alicia Silverstone, veganism is becoming a lot more mainstream now. Maybe someday, even Sam’s Club will sell vegan jumbo muffins!
Question of the Day:
Do you know any vegetarians or vegans?
You know at least one; you know me! 
P.S. Thanks for all the feedback on My new FAQ post.
I think a photography post is definitely in order. I’ll try to get one up this week!
{ 147 comments… read them below or add one }
No
I dont really personally know any and its frustrating cuz I always feel a little out of place.
But your muffin looks gorgeous and yummy and your blog makes me feel a little less out of place
Well, I know me and you
And a couple of other blog friends (I hope they don´t mind I call them my friends) 
But I don´t know any vegans or vegetarians in real life, except for some famous people :/
I don’t know any vegans in real life either! I am a vegetarian, and I know one or two, but you’d think us non-meat eaters would know more other non-meat eaters. So I know the lovely Katie, I know me, and now I know you! And by the way, I would be honored to be called your blog friend. P.S. I am in love with your blog!
Kelly, thank you so much! OK, so now I officially call you my blog friend and I am happy to get to know such a cute vegetarian girl
Right back at YOU!
I am honored to be YOUR blog friend! I know we don’t know each other very well (or in real life), but we vegans need to stick together!!
Wow! That really made a georgous muffin! So yummy looking! You definitely r an amazing baker! (-:
I only know you and other bloggers… and that’s it!!
No one I know in my country shares the same dislike for meat as I do! 
Oh yum – we do this one all the time when making single lady cupcakes
I like to add a dash of cinnamon to mine. You really have to try them with our freeze dried blueberries sometime though – they are to die for!
Oh – and I’ve found that I actually know more vegans/vegetarians than I thought. When people find out that I write a food blog, or when they ask about coming to a cooking class, that’s when they mention it.
Freeze ried blueberries? That sounds awesome! I wonder if they’re cheaper than fd raspberries… I wanted to buy a package once, to put in my homemade larabars, but it was $9! I can guarantee you that with my lack of willpower, I will someday break down and buy that package anyway
.
I know a couple, but they are loosely vegetarians. To each their own though! I used to be, but it didn’t work for me and my body. I still enjoy a good vegan dessert though
That’s how I am with raw desserts! People go, “How come you eat raw desserts if you’re not a raw foodist?” Well, because there’s no rule that says you have to actually be on a certain diet to enjoy those desserts!
I’m a vegetarian myself. I have also have had 3 vegetarian friends. I also know some others who are either vegetarian or vegan.
I’m hopefully going to try and make this blueberry muffin.
bloob muffins are my fav type!!!… and these look so moist and gosh- like for real idk how you do it but you do it SO WELL
I know some vegetarians, many that are actually pescatarians and that don’t watch out for gelatin. But I don’t know any vegans personally. I have only heard of them from people that know one. That makes me feel lonely sometimes, and when I see other vegans at Whole Foods I get really happy because it reminds me I’m not alone. If it wasn’t for you, Katie, other bloggers and these celebs I would find it much harder to be vegan.
I think I didn’t meet another vegan until I’d already been one three years… and then the first other vegans I met were goats! True story! I was at a bed-n-breakfast, and they told me that the lady who fed the goats was a vegan. I never got to meet her, though. Only the goats
.
One of my best friends is a veg.! Except one of those reliant on cheese/packaged snacks :C
It looks rainy outside where you are…even a thousand or so miles away from Irene!
Haha it’s actually not! We could use the rain… it’d cool things off!
Dang that muffin looks good! I love huge muffin tops! This looks perfect. I’m the only vegetarian I know personally. Our family eats mostly vegetarian, but the boys do eat meat occasionally. Lately, they have been missing the more vegetarian lifestyle. They have decided to move more in that directions. I did ready about Bill Clinton and I do agree that if you eat a healthy vegan diet, it can be extremely beneficial. Although, you can go in the wrong direction and over do any diet.
What a great idea! I’m totally going to use this recipe as I just moved into an apartment for a job and live by myself. Looks DELISH!
I know a few vegetarians, and one raw foodist, but don’t personally know any vegans. I certainly think it is becoming more common though, judging from the amount of veg cookbooks I see in Barnes and Noble and veg restaurants now. I don’t know if I will ever be strictly veg or vegan, but I have been incorporating many more veg meals into my diet now. And as a result, am strangely losing my taste for meat! Hmmmm.
That’s what happened to me and cheese! I used to be the biggest cheese addict ever… but now I can’t even stand the smell. Tastebuds are so weird!
Was it hard to give up cheese? How did you do it?
Hey Megan! I thought it woul be hard, but it wasn’t at all. But I was lucky because I didn’t have to give it up in the US. I wrote more about it all here: http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/veganism/
Looks awesome!Love the single girl lady style!
This looks exactly like my favorite vegan muffin, the blueberry muffin at Le Pain Quotidien. My muffins never turn out with that perfect top…any advice? I know not to overmix, but do you have batter scooping tips, do you use an ice cream scoop? Did you use a regular muffin tin?
The best trick: smooth the top with a knife! It makes it look perfect every time
.
I do use a regular muffin tin, and just a spoon to scoop it out.
This looks so delicious!! I’m going to try making it using a coffee cup instead of using the muffin pan:)
No, I do wish I knew vegans in my neighborhood:(
My best friend is a vegetarian, and I am a vegan!!
And my other friend has PKU, so she can’t eat a lot of protein, so shes pretty much a vegetarian/vegan as well!
OMG–totally bookmarking this. Love! And for the muffin tin, are they just regular sized? Or do you need a special pan?
I just use a regular muffin tin. I spray only one of the cups with oil spray.
hey katie, m gonna make this rite now! looks great…just wndering though, looked at the nutritional value, and when i add it up it equated to way more than 110 cals…just made me wonder ive got the measurements rite?
3 tbsp flour (i make this 40grams?) and 1 tbsp coconut (…about 15 gram?)….or is this too much lol…any help would be great….xx
I use 30g spelt flour. And the nutrition facts are for the basic single-lady cupcake. They’re calculated with the applesauce option.
I’m a pescetarian! Does that count?
Haha, I do know many vegetarians though. I originally wanted to go full veg, but this is my compromise with my parents. (I, like you, am technically underweight, and they’re already worried enough about me… sigh.)
I was a pescetarian first, too! But that only lasted around a week… because the only fish I even liked were fish sticks!
9That is so weird, I made blueberry muffins this morningl (although I made a big batch, so the whole family could join the fun!).
I think we share a brain! (Or maybe that is wishful thinking on my part….)
My sister and best friend are both vegetarian. I actually do not know many vegans, aside from you of course
whenever me and my mom make single-serving muffins/blueberries, we make one batch and pour it into two silicone muffin cups, and them microwave them. we ususally use silly feet because they are raised and the cupcakes dont get gummy on the bottom (http://www.teapartydiva.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/silly-feet-cupcake-baking-cups.jpg ). my moms favorite flavor right now is to make chocolate-almond ff, gf, sf cupcakes (with almond extract and sometimes orange), then add choco chips and top it off with either peanut butter or orange marmalade (or plain cuz they are good!)
i love single serving recipes, because I typically am cooking for just myself and it’s always a hassle to have to try and scale down recipes, so thank you!!
I’m a vegetarian, so now we all know another!!
What a great recipe! I really love all your single serving recipes. My biggest problem living alone is that I never want to make a batch of anything because then I’m left with the whole thing! I have some fresh blueberries from the farmers market yesterday, so I’ll have to try this out!
Gosh, that reminds me of the HUGE muffins I used to think of as normal from Dunks!! So pumped, and excited for your photography post!
I only know three vegans in real life. You make 4!
Yummy blueberry muffins are my favourite type of muffin!
I just heard that Bill Clinton turned vegan too. I know a couple of vegetarians but no vegans – I think they’re pretty rare in Ireland!
Well, I know a lot of vegetarians, but not so many vegans. One of my friends, currently a vegetarian, has decided he wants to become fully vegan by the end of the semester though! He’s enlisted me as his coach hahaha.
Dumb question: what kind of muffin pan do you use? Do you have a legitimate jumbo muffin pan, or is it just an overfilled regular pan?
Yum. I need to make this asap!
I know a handful of vegetarians, but no vegans. Meat-eating is pretty big here in Wisconsin (have you heard of our famous bratwursts?…Yuck!), so I don’t think vegetarians/vegans are as prevalent as they may be in other parts of the country.
Haha sounds like here… with our brisket!
Single serving goodness! ….I’m off to the grocery store today to load up on some things to make items from THIS amazing site….
I wish I had blueberries right now. I love all your single-serving recipes.
Well I’ve been a vegetarian for the majority of my life and just decided to become a vegan. I’m loving it. I have two friends that are vegetarians which is nice so I’m not alone and I think my boyfriend is seriously considering giving up his meat…
Love your single serving (a.k.a. “single lady”) recipes! They make for such great snacks when you’re feeling indecisive, but want something delicious (and healthy, of course) A.S.A.P.
I know quite a few vegetarians, but only three vegans. Two of those three… don’t know what they’re doing, to be honest. They haven’t done the research about becoming vegan (or even vegetarian) so they’re both experiencing a plethora of health problems at the moment. (The worst part is that they don’t want to listen to advice, either! And yes, I have tried to direct them to your blog! “I know what I’m doing” is what they always retort in response…)
Thanks for another blueberry recipe.
I hope blueberry season doesn’t come to an end soon… or, you know, ever.
This muffin looks awesome! I made a similar one the other day using a recipe from Happy Herbivore. I think hers is very close to yours.
Anyway, there are quite a few vegans and vegetarians on my college campus and we have a vegetarian society that has helped me meet lots of people. I am actually going to be living in a house of three vegans (including me), three vegetarians, and two omnivores. Should be interesting!
You’re totally right about veganism becoming more mainstream. I live in Philly and I am constantly amazed by the number of vegan or vegan-friendly restaurants popping up.
Oh you’re so super-lucky! Philly is my favorite city! I love South Street especially! An there’s some veg restaurant… I can’t remember the name, but they have an incredible peanut sauce curry. (Of course, my favorite restaurant on Cherry Street closed.
)
yum yum! Love blueberry muffins!
I know some vegan/vegetarian people, but not that many (about 8 altogether). I guess that will change when I start at Peta
I’m the resident vegetarian of my group of friends. And I also have to be gluten-free and can only handle certain kinds of dairy and limited amount of soy. Growing up I was a vegetarian in a very meat-heavy family. And my parents would get really angry with me for not wanting to eat meat. They might have been more ok with it if I had reasons beyond “but it’s DISGUSTING!!!” Then again, probably not. But thankfully my husband is totally okay with the fact that he eats waaay less meat now that he’s with me.
By the way, I saw this course offered at UC Berkeley mentioned in an article and thought of you right away!
“Chocolate: History, Culture, and Science”
http://anthropology.berkeley.edu/programs/courses/course_details.php?id=399
Man, why doesn’t my college offer a course on chocolate?!
OMG! Can I go back to college? I never thought I’d say that
.
My boyfriend’s a vegetarian! He was raised that way, so he’s never known anything different. I love it– it encourages me to go out and make creative and fun dishes for us to try together! I still haven’t gotten around to tofu yet, haha. I knew a vegan once, in college. She about died when she found out Oreos were “vegan”. That’s my best memory of her. And of course, you Katie!
Fabulous looking blueberry muffin! This is my sister’s fave– and she’s starting her first day of college tomorrow! Maybe I’ll make this for her!
I love YOU and your Single Lady Cupcakes!! I have them at LEAST twice a week (or day
) and they will NEVER get dull!! You are a genius 
Actually, in my close group of friends, only one out of the five of us eats meat! I think vegetarianism isn’t uncommon in London, but sadly veganism still is! I think that would change though if everyone tried your muffins!
Perfect!! Just got some coconut oil and am looking for lots of things to bake!
I love muffins! And one of my best friends is a vegan. I showed her your website and its dramatically improved her quality of life. Her diet was mainly consisting of Fruit Loops before I brought over some CCK raw chocolate raspberry mouse cake.
Aww wow, thank you so much!! That makes me smile so much… I remember when I first went vegan and thought it meant I couldn’t eat chocolate!
This looks so delicious Katie! I love muffins with plump blueberries and it looks so moist and fresh! I always loved those giant blueberry muffins with streusel on top as a kid, so I bet you could do a healthy one with a touch of brown sugar and some nuts. Also, I am making your raw chocolate fudge cake today! As for knowing veg people, I had a co-worker who was vegan, another who was vegetarian, and I have been a vegetarian for a whopping 3 months! (you gotta start somewhere) I have considered going vegan but I just love greek yogurt, cottage cheese, and goat cheese!
And an interested blurb about UNT…http://www.ntdaily.com/?p=55919
I saw that too! I am happy for them… but jealous! LOL it *almost* makes me want to go back to college. Almost, but not quite!
Haha I used to love cottage cheese too! I wonder if there’s a vegan substitute… it’s weird that they’re able to make vegan calamari (grossly weird!) but no one’s done cottage cheese yet! Someday soon, I bet they will!
I know about seven vegetarians and three vegans. THEY’RE EVERYWHERE.
I am totally going to be making this today in mini form, hmmm I wonder how many “mini” muffins it will yield, I’m guessing 3? I actually know a ton of vegetarians, and many vegans too actually. I was raised mostly veg, and a lot of my family are veg or vegan too
Reading some of the comments made me realize how I guess I take all the vegetarian and even vegan places around me for granted, we have a lot in CA.
the muffin looks yuuuuummy!
i do know a couple of vegetarians, but unfortunately i don’t know any vegan..would be easier if i had company! but hey, i really believe being vegan is worthy all troubles!
rock on!
I love your single serving recipes. They’re so perfect for those of us (and by us I mean ME) who have absolutely no will power to stop after only 1!!
Your single serving recipes make me so happy, thank you for a mega blueberry version! Blueberries are near enough my favourite fruit (they frequently have rowdy fights with all other berries and bananas for top spot
) and blueberry muffins are definitely my favourite … I do love a good double – or even triple – chocolate (healthy and vegan!) muffin, but I will pick a blueberry muffin nine times out of ten.
If this is anything like your banana bread recipe (which I frosted with your Coconut Banana Butter … my mouth is watering with the memory…), I can see myself sliding off the couch in a dazed state of bliss when I make this
Damn, I meant to write that I know exactly one vegetarian and one vegan in person: my mum went vegetarian about eight years ago, one year after I did, and my friend who has been a vegetarian for over twenty years has recently become vegan. I’ve spent the last several months stealthily manoeuvring mine and my mum’s diet towards veganism
This looks exactly like one of the muffins you would get at the store-YUM! they always make me drool
These look yummy. I knew one Vegan (from a distance) who did the Oreo/Diet drink/Fritos version of Vegan. But, this is so funny/weird. My cousin went Vegan in January, my aunt and uncle followed based on the Engine 2 Diet and The China Study. I didn’t think I could do it. I didn’t think I could give up cream in my coffee (oh, nothing better than good French press coffee w/ cream) and cheese. My daughter followed my aunt and uncle and cousin and I decided I’d give it a shot. My husband agreed and we took April as the month we would try Veganism. He’s amended it a little (I still cook for him so he doesn’t get a lot of say — but he eats salmon a few times a week) but I’ve stuck with it and I LOVE it. Now. My family thinks we are all weirdos and they don’t know “what to feed YOU people” but they snarf everything we bring….and rave about it. More converts in the future methinks.
Wow, that is so awesome! And you sound a lot like me too… I never, ever thought I could give up cheese. Macaroni and cheese was my favorite food. Now I don’t even like the smell of it! It’s so interesting how our tastes can change!
I’m a vegetarian and I have several vegetarian friends, and I have two vegetarian cousins, an aunt and uncle who are vegetarian, a grandma who is vegetarian, and a cousin who is vegan! But none of my immediate family is vegetarian or vegan, so I feel slightly out of place. Oh well, I love to be different!
I. Am. Drooling. That muffin looks…. incredible? Amazing? Fabulous? None of those words really do it justice
And I love how the pictures are outside, yet you managed to sneak some blue in there. I think the presence of blue in your pictures is like your signature 
Have a wonderful Sunday, Katie!!
<3 <3
Vegan foods are becoming part of mainstream supermarkets – thank god! At costco, actually, they sell vegan veggie burgers that are quite tasty! A family friend of mine is vegan and she just had a baby who she is raising vegan as well! Did you know that Abe Lincoln was a vegetarian. Also, there is Natalie Portman and Leonardo Di Vinci! wowza
I heard Ben Franklin was… but I also heard Brad Pitt and Orlando Bloom were, and I don’t think that’s true, so who knows! But it’s too cool if Lincoln was! And Natalie Portman is just gorgeous!
Can I bake this in a 1 cup ramekin? I don’t want to use a whole muffin pan for just 1 muffin!
Yes!
Oooh! That reminded me that I had cut out a recipe for LIME Blueberry muffins! I need to make them ASAP (or play around with this recipe). Man, I looove lime (but lemon? not so much..isn’t that funny?).
It is strange to me how vegans/vegetarians/specialty diets could be looked at as “weird” by others. I never had that experience. Years ago (I was probably around 12…I am now 29) I went vegan for about a year (am no longer vegan) and everyone was interested in it…no judgement. Although my family wasn’t up for going vegan (and I was not interested in converting anyone) they were always willing to try food I made and were supportive. Friends did not bat an eyelash either. And this was before being veg was “cool!”
Wow, your friends were way more open-minded than mine! LOL I had a guy literally chase me around with a piece of chicken, saying, “I’m going to feed you chicken!” Wondering why he was my friend… hehehe
.
yummy! That looks light and fluffy, just theyway I like them!
Living in LA there are pplenty of Vegans and Vegetarins and I love that because eating out is so much easier. I find interesting that many hip-hop artists are Vegan I think it is so awesome and like you said, “Vegans used to be seen as weird and out of the ordinary.” well not so much any more!
I’ve just realised I’ve never had a blueberry muffin! I need to do something about that and luckily there are two boxes of blueberries in my fridge at this moment
Thanks for the frosting reminder too; I made a vegan carrot cake last week and couldn’t think what to fill it with. In the end, I went with a coconut oil “buttercream” – which would have been right up your street, I reckon! – but the cashew/tofu one would have been amazing! I’ll bookmark for next time, thank you
Any recipe that is single serve AND I can make in 90 secs in the micro b/c I just don’t turn my oven on for 1 cupcake…it’s gotta be a batch of something really big for me to bother with all that ..haha! But yeah, this is awesome.
And also it’s vegan. Another bonus.
Do I know any vegans or veggies, yeah half of SoCal
My entire life (95%) ive been either vegan or veggie. I’ve eaten trace amounts of fish in my life but always return to my plant based roots. It’s just works for me 
I live in a small city of 79,000 people and I’ve met exactly ONE vegan and ONE vegetarian, not including myself! I tried to find an issue of Vegetarian Times after our Borders closed down and I COULDN’T!!!
Of course, the Midwest has the lowest rates of vegetarianism in the country (probably due to all our meat- and dairy-centered agribusiness), so this really isn’t surprising. In a year I’m moving to a Midwestern hippie oasis to go to grad school, so I look forward to all the vegetarian cafes and health-food stores… ahhh…
By the way, your muffins look gorgeous! I’ve got a smidgen of blueberries left and I know what I’m gonna make with them!
Thanks so much for this recipe– now I know where to head when I’m feeling indulgent and don’t want to bake a whole batch of yummy goodness
I bet some coconut may make their way into my muffins…
Ooh a photography post sounds lovely
I am the only vegan I know who lives nearby
The one vegan I met in real life traveled up here (to Michigan) from my sister’s school in Massachusetts. LOL someone had to commute to here before I finally met a vegan!! Where are all the Michigan vegans at?! There needs to be a listing!! 
(ideas, Katie?)
Hmmm… did you google “vegan meet ups”? I just did for Dallas, and it turns out we have a meet-up group? Who knew! In Dallas?!
Bill Clinton eats a mostly vegan diet for health reasons. However, he isn’t a vegetarian.
Paul McCartney is a vegetarian. However, I’ve never seen him describe himself as a vegan.
I love “for one” recipes!! Having 12 muffings/cookies/biscuits/anything in my house is never a good idea…
Yay for Bill Clinton! Haha I’m glad to read that I didn’t give you false information on his veganism. I know tons of vegetarians, a few vegans. I myself have tried both lifestyles. I eat mostly vegan/vegetarian when it’s just me, but am omnivorous in the company of others, and when I cook for the family.
Oh, this is all too perfect!
Combining bloobs, muffin, and in a single serve portion!
I’ve been a vegetarian for 6 years!
Making this ASAP! I live for blueberries!!!!
I’m one of three vegans/vegetarians in my office – I also know a few from church, college and just day-to-day life!
I know 1 vegetarian and 1 “vegatarian” who eats chicken and bacon! Well, who can blame her?
I know one vegetarian and one “vegetarian” who eats chicken and bacon! well, who can blame her?
Okay, seriously???? The food porn on your blog is enough to drive a carb deprived woman to tears
I love your recipes, and I love your blog, but it always makes me very, VeRy, VERY hungry, ha ha!
I love your single lady recipes, keeps me from eating too much!! I also used to think veganism was weird until I started reading your blog. Turns out vegans can eat alot more than broccoli and its actually good for you too
Where have these been all my life??? I adore blueberry muffins, but sometimes I just want one. You are amazing!!
I love this muffin for one…anything for one is great in my book! Though I cook and bake a lot for my husband and myself, I love having options when he isn’t around and I don’t want to make a lot of food.
This looks so, so delicious!! And it got really puffy too!! I’m usually too lazy to wait for the oven, but this recipe just might convince me!!
I know lots of vegetarians, and a fair number of vegans, but I live on the west coast, so I think it’s more commonplace out here. Or perhaps I just run in those kind of circles, even though I am neither myself.
Luckily I live near San Francisco, so there are LOTS of veggies/vegans here! We even have great veg/vegan/raw restaurants. Not that I can get out to eat very often, but it’s nice to know they’re there, lol!
That muffin looks delish. I may have to make one this afternoon.
I just made this muffin for my mum, because she had a rough day at work..I replaced the fresh blueberries with dried cranberries, because berries are very expensive here in the Netherlands..She said it tasted great, and I think it really made her feel better! Thank you so much for your wonderful recipes Katie..I love your blog! (I actually read it at least twice a day, hihi!)
Wow, aww that made me smile so much! Give your mom a hug for me!
ohhh my gosh this looks delicious! i used to be so addicted to those ginormous muffins they sell at convenience stores about 4 years ago that are so disgustingly bad for you, but this looks like a much better, healthier version
thank you for sharing, can’t wait to make one myself!
I’m the lone vegan in my family (though there are a few vegetarians), at my work, and in my group of friends. Those who care about me are supportive but I’m thankful for the vegan blogging community!
This muffin looks amazing! Love the microwave option, too. Can’t wait to try it!
I just found your site thanks to a friend of mine and couldn’t resist trying this recipe first since it has the microwave option. Baked goods in the micro? Really?
So I made it using spelt flower, canola oil, and 2% cow’s milk. Nuked it for about 100 seconds and it turned out good! It was smaller than I expected – only halfway filled my little ramekin, but I could easily double the recipe if I wanted a big muffin.
I’m going to try this again with a wheat-free flour mix and soy milk for my allergic son. He rarely gets baked good because of his wheat/egg/milk/nut allergies, so it will be a special treat. Thanks for the recipe – I can’t wait to try some others!
Aww I’m so glad your son can have a treat too! I know how it feels to be left out when everyone’s having a treat… and I used to feel left out by choice (when I first went vegan). I can’t imagine how sad I would’ve been if I was left out because of an allergy. It’s so awesome that they now make so many allergy-friendly products so EVERYone can enjoy yummy things
.
I am in love with your Single Lady Recipes!!!
They are the BEST! 
YOU are the best
It looks marvelous! I should try it!
I know one vegan
He is on http://www.facebook.com/VeganLight
I’m forcing myself to get off of my computer right now because I have literally just bookmarked ten more of your recipes. I already have a million on my to-do list and I need to make a dent on that list before I can add anymore. Your desserts look sooo amazing and I love all of these recipes “for one”. My boyfriend doesn’t have half the sweet tooth I do and sometimes I just need something for myself
LOL!
. I’ve met so many that don’t like ice cream… and I dated a guy who didn’t like chocolate! (Of course, that just meant more for me!)
Seriously, what is wrong with boys? They don’t appreciate good desserts
just tried this out with blueberries AND raspberries! It was very good,although i want more now! i did have to microwave for 45sec longer then suggested but still quick enough to make on a rushed morning. I know several vegetarians and vegans but i live in colorado near boulder so it is common here. thanks for the recipe.
I’m so glad you tried it! As for the microwave thing… maybe it has something to do with the altitude? Don’t high altitudes require longer cooking times? (Or maybe it’s shorter cooking times… lol I’m all mixed up
) In any case, I’m glad it worked!
Hmm, apparently my Kindle attempt at a comment didn’t show up, if it does later, I’m sorry for double posting!
I just made this muffin this morning, except did 1 T blueberries and 1 T raspberries – AMAZING COMBO! I also used 1 T sugar – probably could have cut back, applesauce – worked great, and microwaved it for 90 s + 45 s (I had a big square dish) and it turned out fantastic with my green tea. I love that its fast enough to make during my “I have 10 minutes before I have to leave and I have a million things to do” days.
As for vegans & vegetarians – I know a ton, I live near Boulder, CO which has them everywhere! I even see vegan cheese in the grocery stores around here – I don’t think there’s much you really have to give up, since there’s usually an “alternative”. Personally I just don’t want to, I love all foods, but I do like eating healthy so more sweet potato fries and less meat is always good.
I just made this delish looking muffin, cause I can’t eat gluten OR any kind of sugar or honey, so I just used a tad of stevia. I didn’t have any flour, so ground up some quinoa in my coffee grinder and added a touch of cornstarch and used that. It sort of fell apart, but it turned into a rather yummy sugar free kind of fruit slump! A new concoction!!! Yay. Thanks for the ideas.
Haha it sounds really good!!
I literally just made and ate… no, devoured… this muffin and it was scrumptious!!! And, being a single lady, I appreciate the recipes that make only one serving. Otherwise, I’d be throwing away and wasting a lot of food, or I’d be eating the whole entire thing (which is what typically happens!). Keep the great recipes coming!!!
Beautiful recipe i am gonna try it
saying hello from Slovakia
I HOPE this works with quinoa flour. I’m heaving carnivorus (plus dairy)…so adding something vegan in my life might be okay for a change-up …although this muffin will likely go into a tub of yogurt!
I have tried these with oil and it comes out great! SO, will it still be good without the oil and the sauce instead (I want to try to fat-free version because my diet is strongly fat-heavy), but worry the sauce won’t be as effective.
Also, will a microwave be just as effective?? And suggested time?
I like quinoa flour (you should try it), but worry it won’t be as good ….I’ve never had spelt or others for that matter.
I do know that others have done it in the microwave. Maybe try 1 minute? It really depends on the strength of your microwave.
I don’t know if it would hold together with quinoa flour, but if you try it I’d love to know if it works!
I just made this baby. So good, using applesauce, I had to add an extra T of soy milk, and cooking time was about 20 min. Calorie-wise it came out to 150 for me.
Can I just say how much I appreciate this as a single serving recipe? It’s awesome.
This is so cute. Do you think it would work if I tried to steam the muffin batter instead of baking it
Sorry, I don’t know
this looks amazing!! i just made one, but into mini-muffins and with raspberries (i didn’t have any blueberries) and i can’t wait to try them!! thanks for the great vegan recipes, it’s hard to find good ones!
made this today, with raspberries, vegetable oil and sprinkled raw sugar on top. delish!
I made this as part of a breakfast for my son this morning – I guess it was good as there was nothing left but the cupcake liner!
I tried a gluten-free version of this muffing this morning. I used just under 1 teaspoon of sugar, and it was more than sweet enough for me. It’s nice to be able to have one muffin without having to experiment with a whole batch (which may or may not work; gluten-free baking can be tricky). My muffin top slid off (the whole thing was rather crumbly), but it was still delicious!
Do you think if I timed each of the ingredients by the amount I want to make of muffins it would still turn out good? With having a family, only making one muffin doesn’t work normally
Looks delicious though!
I *think* it would… I know a girl who blogged about making 4 muffins from the recipe a few days ago. But I’ve never tried it. Still, I don’t see why it wouldn’t work!
How would I be able to double this recipe in order to make more of them? I’d love to have one each morning!
Just double each of the individual ingredients. Or even triple or quadruple
.
So yummy. The coconut oil makes it so crunchy delish! For anyone wondering, it’s 8 WW pointsplus and soooooooooooo worth it (would be a lot less with applesauce, but you’ve gotta have that coconut oil)!
Just tried to make one in the microwave. Did not over-stir, as I’ve been making muffins for years & know over-stirring makes them tough. Results: one big ball of rubber
maybe your microwave’s really strong…try shortening the cook time, because I just did mine and it came out perfectly! also keep in mind that the resulting texture of microwaved baked goods is not the same as baking…
lol… i live in montreal. EVERYONE is vegan (and/or some other kind of dietary restriction) hahaha. you walk down the street and there are vegan restaurants.
Yum I just made this in the microwave! I followed the recipe exactly except I doubled it (I was hungry haha) and used white flour. It was good, but the top kept seeming underdone so I think I microwaved it a little too long and it’s a little dry. I think in total I put it in for around double the time here. Great idea though and will definitely be using it again!
i want to use a natural sweetener, to me that is maple syrup, molasses, date syrup, honey– which do you think would taste best??
Sorry, I’ve never tried date syrup, and I really don’t know! It depends on your personal tastes.
I tried making a couple of your single serving cupcakes this weekend and they all came out completely stuck to the cupcake liners… any idea why this happened and what I can do to fix it next time? Maybe not use a cupcake liner and just spray the pan?
Hmmm… yeah, I usually spray the pan and don’t use liners. Did you use the oil or applesauce version? Especially if it has no added fat, you’re safer without a liner.
Applesauce. I figured it was since there isn’t really any fat; but in your picture they came out perfect. Ah well.. I’ll try again with the liners because the flavor was still delish!
Made this blueberry muffin and made it low carb by using 1T coconut flour, 1T soy flour, and 1T whole wheat pastry flour, stevia/splenda mix, and used Soy Delicious coconut beverage for the liquid. It turned out great!! Thanks Katie!
Hi ! I’m a pescetarian who has been trying to eat healthier but who loves sweets
I chanced upon this website a few weeks ago and I love it! I haven’t had the chance to try many of the recipes yet, but they all seem so delicious! I love your idea for a single-serving muffin, but I actually multiplied the recipe by 12 to get an even dozen as I wanted to eat these throughout the week. I made a few modifications as well, but I think your original recipe is amazing nonetheless. I posted my modified recipe for anyone else who would like to try it.
Modified Orange-Blueberry Muffins (Makes 12)
• 2 1/ 4 cup flour (I used 1 1/4 cup all purpose white, 1 cup whole wheat)
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 3 / 4 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 – 2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
• 2 tbsp vanilla extract
• 3 /4 cup unsweetened applesauce(You can use unrefined coconut oil as the original recipe says or a different oil;
• 1 cup orange juice
• 1 tbsp orange zest (I use atleast 2 times more because I like a strong orange flavour)
• 1 cup sugar or sweetener (I use 1 cup because as I mentioned I like things sweet and the orange juice gives it a slight bitter taste)
Thank you for the recipe and I look forward to trying other recipes on your website!
Thanks, Jenna! People often ask how to scale the recipe up. Now I can just send them to your comment
