Vegan banana blueberry muffins with yoghurt

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!
