Ever since I started using blueberries in my bakes, there was no looking back. Prior to these muffins, I tried my hands on Blueberry Banana Oatmeal Muffins, which were made of oats flour and coconut sugar, which made them super duper healthy.
This time I wanted to use blueberries without bananas, so I used my eggless carrot muffins recipe as the base, and created these healthy blueberry muffins without eggs. These muffins are so soft and moist, it’s hard to say that these don’t contain any eggs, yogurt is definitely a great egg substitute here. This is a must try recipe if you love making desserts with blueberries!
Ingredients & Substitutes
- Jaggery Powder – You can substitute jaggery powder with equal amount of coconut palm sugar!
- Vegetable oil – I have used Avocado oil, feel free to use any neutral vegetable oil available.
- Yogurt – Substitute yogurt with equal amount of buttermilk.
- Vanilla Extract – For that amazing flavor kick!
- Whole Wheat Flour – This is a healthier option compared to the regular refined flour used in baking.
