Notes:

These super yummy oil free vegan blueberry muffins are a fab little treat for weekend baking! 

You can pretty much add in any berries you like instead of the blueberries, I’ve made raspberry and white chocolate before (adding chocolate makes them not oil free anymore but definitely extra tasty). Add any fillings when you would add the blueberries. 

If you don’t like banana you can sub this for a big table spoon of plain apple sauce instead. 

Any plant based milk can be used to accommodate for nut allergies eg, oat, hemp, rice milk. 

I like to sprinkle a little more coconut sugar on the top before they go into the oven to create a caramelized top!
