Key Ingredients
To create the perfect vegan raspberry muffins, you’ll need to use the right ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:
You can find the full printable recipe, including ingredient quantities, below. But first, here are some explanations of ingredients and steps to help you make this recipe perfect every time.
- Vegetable oil — Use canola oil, melted coconut oil, avocado oil, or olive oil.
- Sugar — Brown sugar (light, dark, or homemade brown sugar) adds extra moisture to these muffins.
- Applesauce — Use unsweetened applesauce for these muffins.
- Plant-Based Milk — Any plant-based milk will work, such as almond milk.
- Ground flaxseed — We’ll use ground flax as an egg replacer, but you can substitute ground chia seeds.
- Cornstarch — Adding cornstarch to flour can improve baked good’s texture.
- Vinegar — Apple cider vinegar works, or substitute white vinegar or lemon juice.
- Flour — I experiment with flours all the time. All-purpose flour creates light muffins. Use gluten-free baking flour blend to make gluten-free raspberry muffins. Use half whole wheat flour or use 100% Whole Wheat Pastry Flour to make healthy raspberry muffins.
- Berries — Use fresh or frozen raspberries.
All of these ingredients are readily available in most grocery stores, and they’re all vegan-friendly. With the right ingredients and this recipe, you’ll be on your way to creating the perfect vegan raspberry muffins!
Feeling adventurous? Try adding some unconventional ingredients like a teaspoon of matcha powder or pumpkin pie spice. Remember to always use vegan substitutes for traditional baking ingredients like eggs and milk.
