Pure maple syrup and maple sugar is an essential vegan baking ingredient. Made only from the sap of wild grown maple trees, this wholesome sweetener is the perfect addition to plant based pastries. Vegan blueberry muffins are an excellent example of how maple can amplify sweetness without overpowering the treat.
New England blueberries are bursting with flavor around mid to late summer. When they’re in season we’re snacking on them, swirling them into our yogurt bowls, plopping them into buttermilk pancakes, and dumping them into muffin batter. These fresh fruity gems turn jammy in the oven. With a soft, jammy base and a crumbly maple sugar based crumb topping a bite of vegan blueberry muffins has it all.
Should you choose to take the flavor to another level, consider toasting day old muffins and smearing the face with maple butter. When it comes to maple, we’re team more is more!
These muffins take less than 30 minutes to bake and only require one bowl to whip up. Share them with the whole family, pack them for lunch or enjoy as dessert. So long as there are blueberries and maple, two iconic New England ingredients, we will pair them together. This is peak Vermont summer sweetness in muffin form!
