Low in sugar, fruity and easy to make these vegan banana blueberry muffins are made with yoghurt. They are light, taste fantastic and are perfect for snack time and lunch boxes.
Despite the fact that none of my three kids like blueberries we all love a good blueberry muffin. The traditional blueberry muffin that you might pick up in a coffee shop will be made with refined white sugar and white flour. Here I’ve used a blend of plain flour and spelt flour to make them a bit more wholesome.
I’ve also used coconut sugar instead of white sugar – however you can substitute caster sugar if you prefer. We found them perfectly sweet with the coconut sugar.
I’ve frozen a few batches of these and they defrost well so are a great addition to your lunchbox stash. There’s no nuts in them and they are dairy free if you use vegan yoghurt as I have done.
What’s your favourite type of muffin? Let me know in the comments below and maybe I’ll make yours next!

These look and sound amazing. I love how you have made them full of goodness – so much healthier than the bought ones! And I am pretty sure I would like yours way better than a bought one too. I always find the commercial ones way too sweet. Eb x
Me too, far too much sugar!
Who knew you could pack so much goodness into a sweet muffin.These are so cute too.I keep meaning to buy spelt flour.should I use it 50 % in a standard white flour recipe.So half and half?I make banana bread all the time so was going to sneak it in there!Thanks for sharing #CookBlogShare
Thanks Jenny! Spelt flour can absorb more liquid than normal plain flour so you may need to adjust it but I often do a 50/50 ratio and it works fine. I also make pizza dough in this way. Just feels a bit more nutritious!
