Single Serving Blueberry Muffin

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 🙂

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

Looks awesome!Love the single girl lady style!

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! 🙂

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!

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 😉

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?!

I know about seven vegetarians and three vegans. THEY’RE EVERYWHERE. 😉

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’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

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!”

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!

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! 😀

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 🙂

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!

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?)

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.

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 know one vegetarian and one “vegetarian” who eats chicken and bacon! well, who can blame her?

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…

I love “for one” recipes!! Having 12 muffings/cookies/biscuits/anything in my house is never a good idea…

Making this ASAP! I live for blueberries!!!!

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 🙂

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.

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!)

I am in love with your Single Lady Recipes!!! 😀 They are the BEST! 😀

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!!! 🙂

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.

made this today, with raspberries, vegetable oil and sprinkled raw sugar on top. delish!

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!

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 🙁

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?

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! 😀

CCK!!! will you please pwease make a bulk option of your single lady cupcakes !! If we continue to bake such small quantities we’re going to stay single!!! i really wanna make a bunch of thease and your confetii cupcake but some of us are allready amature bakers and have poor math skills *sigh*

This. Is. AMAZING!!!!!!!!! Thank you soooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Katie!
I love love love your blog so very much and I want to than you for taking the time to answer each comment or inquiry very carefully and always go the extra mile. Go Katie!!,
I know this is a strange place to be asking, but have you ever been to Lush cosmetics? Their products are AMAZING!!! All of their cosmetics are vegetarian and many are vegan. They have a mint-chocolate face mask ( yup- CHOCOLATE )called cupcake that feels divine and I can’t get enough of it!!! Yes, the mask is totally vegan. Yo should try it!
Here’s their website: http://www.lushusa.com
They have everything from bath bombs, to lotion bars, to solid shampoos to henna hair dyes!!,

Ok, you are my new hero! I made this blueberry muffin.. didn’t measure the blueberries, I’m sure I added more than I was suppose to, so I ended up with more of a pie like center but I like pie and the flavors were wonderful! The best part is that since I am the only sweet eater here & I only made one, I’m not going to have leftovers spoiling, nor am I going to be eating too much in an attempt to get rid of them before they spoil. Thanks for sharing…can’t wait to try the other flavors you have posted!

Made individual cupcakes with the kids for Sunday snack this afternoon. We doubled the recipe to make mega cupcakes: 1 lemon, 1 vanilla, 1 blueberry muffin. They are now licking the cupcake papers, so I guess they were pretty good. It was more work for mom to supervise, but they loved being able to choose separate flavors and try each other’s cakes when they were done. Thanks for this fun idea.

I don’t know anyone who eats strictly vegan. I am lactose intolerant and find that vegan recipes are easiest for that. I am also 8 months pregnant and VERY turned off by raw meat. Might have to permanently switch to vegetarian/vegan diet. I love your website- so many great recipes.

Great idea – eager to make one!

I repinned this microwave muffin on Pinterest because what else does a college girl need for late night studying!? (Well, besides tons and tons of coffee of course) (:

That looks so good, can’t wait to try making this 😀

Delish! Definitely gonna be making a GF version for my family! 🙂

OMG!
After month of trying your A-M-A-Z-I-N-G recipes and them never working out
(I assume thats due to having to substitute so much, cause most of the ingedrients, you use, arent available in Germany)
I didnt give up and tried this muffin recipe (one last try,I told myself) and IT WORKED!
OH YES, it FINALLY TURNED OUT SUPER YUMMY!
Thank you so much for these great, healthy, creative and tiny recipes.
Theyre perfect.
And Ive lerned never to give up 🙂

Hee katie!

I recently found your website and I’m in love with it!
You recipes are wonderful!

I just have one big problem.
I tried to make your single-ladie cupcakes two times already and they keep failing.
One time the top was really hard, i couldn’t even bite in it and the lower part of the cupcake was still not really done.
It wasn’t even brown yet….
Do you know what I did wrong?

I can’t use vanilla extract because my country doesn’t sell that so I have to use vanilla aroma. Is that the problem?

Made a chocolate coconut muffin it was delicious!!!!!

Oh My Goodness these were so good! I doubled the recipe and made 9 mini corn muffins . mmmm I could eat 20 of these!

About the spelt flour, I am lead to believe it is only a healthier alternative to normal flour. If using normal “plain flour,” will that alter the flavour or texture at all and if so, will it be impacted severely?

I have to admit, I was a bit nervous about how this would turn out…..it is absolutely amazing though! So good! I’ll definitely be sharing this recipe. Thanks 🙂

I made your single serving blueberry muffin today. It didn’t look like yours because it really didn’t rise & puff up so, it remained the size of the mix that went into the muffin tin. Yours has a traditional smooth shiny top which looks like it rose and puffed up.

It took a longer than 17 min to brown up on top but it was delicious. I baked it in an oven and used melted butter instead of the coconut oil..which I have but wanted to see what it tasted like with the butter. I’m very surprised it was so muffin’ish flaky inside without eggs. My blueberries were fresh and huge but they tasted great.

I think your recipe is brilliant! Thanks!

I reckon I live in one if the most densely vegetarian areas in the UK- it’s mad! A good 7 of my close group of friends at school are vegetarian, although I must admit, I am not one with them, although no one’s pushy about it… Well actually one person does call all non vegetarians monsters, but everyone else is pretty respectful 🙂

Hi! Can I substitute the oil with some more milk? (I don’t have applesauce)

Hi Kaite,

I was so happy to have found your single-serving blueberry muffin recipe, that last night I may have been dreaming in my sleep about the baking process, and yes, the initial first bite. I baked them over an hour ago. Unfortunately, mine did not look anything like the picture you posted. Not to mention the texture was gummy-like in the center and they did not rise enough. The only thing I did differently was use applesauce instead of oil. I also used all-purpose flour from Bob Red Mill. What do you think was the problem I had? Any suggestions for this blueberry muffin fan? Thank you in advance. I look forward to hearing from you.

Im not a vegetarian anymore. Im off and on. I have no will power. But i proudky can say that for over two years i have used only cruelty free products! I even got my mom into it. But when i was a vegetarian everyone at my work thought it was fascinating and they were very supportive. Im very lucky to have that with my coworkers. Anyways katies i dod over mix bc my dough came out crumbly. So i added more soy milk until it was jsut battery enough. My muffin came out blue but so gosh darn yummy! I had that and a tall glass of vanilla soymilk for breakfast. Such a nicr change from eggs in a mug of iatmeal or even a protein bar.

I just made this for breakfast, and holy moly, let me tell you how good this was. Yummy! I think this is going to be my breakfast everyday until I get over this new obsession with these muffins! Love your blog, btw!

The photos, the cheeky/hilarious commentary, and of course the deliciousness and creativity of the recipes themselves. So well done. “Single-lady style!” — love.

Such a great site.

Thank you so much for this. I can make many different types of muffin with this. (I like muffins, my husband does not. And I’m not about to tempt myself by making a dozen or more.)

How is this vegan if there’s milk in it?

hi Katie! i love your recipes so much and this blueberry muffin looks amazing! Would it be ok if i used whole wheat flour? also im thinking of becoming a vegetarian and then transitioning into vegan, any tips?

I tried making the recipe with almond flour. At first, I directly substituted it for the flour, and the result was way too soft and moist. The next time, I used 6 tbsp instead of 3 tbsp (copying what you did for the keto mug cake.) The batter was a little too thick so I had to add extra almond milk to thin it out, but it came out all right after that.
Also, I used frozen blueberries and they started melting and bubbling in the microwave…that scared me for a moment. But nothing dangerous luckily 🙂

I had such high hopes for this. They made a hudge mess. And they sank and was super gross.

Thanks so much! I woke up to the house to myself and wanted to make an amazing brunch, i then remembered I was trying to eat healthier, so I came here. You’ve been a game changer for me.

I have been dreaming of those huge muffins at Costco but am a clean- eater so was feeling hopeless until NOW! Some questions- Could I double or triple this and bake up in a jumbo muffin tin? I’m wondering if I should do refined, liquid, or unrefined coconut oil? Will Bob’s 1-1 gf flour (blue bag) be ok as a flour sub alternatively? How do I get a ‘domed’ top- is that a ‘let the batter rest for a little while’ or a ‘with gluten-free it won’t happen’ thing? Just checking in before the insanity begins in the kitchen lol. Love blueberry anything & everything!!!! Although not strictly vegan, I honestly prefer vegan baking recipes and love every single one of yours!
