Eggless blueberry muffins step by step with Video
Eggless blueberry muffins are one of the best muffin recipe I have tried. These are gorgeous and delicious. These muffins are easy to bake at home and maybe better than the store ones. To make perfect eggless blueberry muffins following few points should be kept in mind. First is to measure the ingredients accurately. Second is to follow the exact recipe without changing any ingredients or step.
In this eggless blueberry muffins, corn flour is added to get the cake like texture rather than bread like. Another thing I want to mention is that coating blueberries in flour mixture is absolutely important. It prevents blueberries from sinking at the bottom.
I can say this recipe is no fail recipe. I have tried it thrice and each time result was same. Recently I have prepared Red currant muffins using the same recipe. These eggless blueberry muffins are moist, fluffy and packed with goodness of blueberries. This recipes is butter less, instead of butter I have used olive oil which makes it healthy. These muffins are light on stomach and perfect morning breakfast. You can also make this blueberry muffins vegan by just replacing milk with water or almond milk and follow all other steps to prepare the recipe . Now let’s jump to the recipe.

Ohh good to know this, In India most of the people don’t eat eggs following religious beliefs. Thankyou !!
Priti says
You stated way back in your recipe to preheat the oven to 180°C and then at step 12 you said to bake for 5 minutes at 200°C. Shouldn’t I just preheat the oven to 200°C and then reduce the heat to 180°C? Its faster to cool down than to heat up with ovens
rachnaskitchen says
Thanks Priti for pointing out. It should be preheated at 200 degree Celsius. Cook the muffins for five minutes on 200 then reduce heat to 180 degree and cook till the toothpick comes out clean. High temperature helps to get perfect domed muffins.
Priti says
I baked these muffins a little earlier and here is my take.
At the 10 minute mark, the blueberries close to top started to bleed. I couldn’t help noticing yours did too. I don’t know how to avoid this. Have you used frozen blueberries when you did yours? It’s such a fool proof recipe save for that bleeding part.
I liked that the muffins peeled off the cups easily in one piece.
I totally misread the part about coating the blueberries in flour, I did it with corn flour and then did a double take. It said flour in your recipe. So I just threw in the remnant of the corn flour from the coating into the mix. Haha
I did get the domes I wanted but on some muffins it was lopsided. I think this is because of the baking soda and powder. Maybe I didn’t mix enough…
rachnaskitchen says
Hi Priti, I am glad that you tried my recipe. I have used the fresh blueberries in this muffin recipe. Yes blueberries did bleed but don’t know why? One possibility could be that I used fresh blueberries. If blueberries were coated in more quantity of flour, it shouldn’t bleed that much. I hope it turns out perfect next time.
Uthaya Banu Arumugam says
Hi… you used milk in muffin. What milk is that? Is that fresh milk? The sugar you used is castard sugar or normal sugar? Can I reduce the sugar to make it less sweet?
rachnaskitchen says
Hi Uthaya,
In this recipe I have used fresh boiled milk and the regular sugar. Yeah of course you can reduce the sugar according to your taste.
Uthaya Banu Arumugam says
Hi… I tried to do this today per your recipe it it doesn’t. I do not know what is the problem.. My husband and my sister taste it and said not taste like muffin.
rachnaskitchen says
Hi,
Glad that you tried the recipe but sorry to hear that it didn’t turn well for you. May I know what was the problem means were they broken or what they taste like ? Tell me the exact problem so that I can help you. Did you measure the ingredients properly ?
arsh says
What if i skip corn flour? would they turn out fine?
rachnaskitchen says
Hi,
I haven’t tried muffins without corn flour in my recipe. It is added to create light texture like cakes. Skipping it, may result in dense textured muffins.
Salonee K. says
Can we use butter instead of olive oil?
rachnaskitchen says
Hello saloni,
I have prepared these muffins multiple times but have n’t tried with butter. As olive oil is healthier than butter, so didn’t replace it. In my opinion butter should also work but can’t say about the texture would come out.
Thanks
Salonee K. says
Have you used 250 grams of maida?
rachnaskitchen says
Yes Salonee, maida used in this recipe is 250 grams in weight.
SUMEETA says
Hi can I use vegetable oil and tin bluebery instead of olive oil and normal blue berry fruit?
rachnaskitchen says
Hi,
Yes you can vegetable oil instead of olive oil but never used tin blueberry so can’t tell about the texture.
Thanks
Persis says
Can I use dried blue berries and in what quantity?
rachnaskitchen says
Hi, I haven’t used dried berries ever so don’t have any idea what the result would come. But I guess adding 1/2 cup dried berries may work out.
Thanks
Persis says
Thanks for your reply
Andrea, in South Carolina, USA says
These are AMAZING!! I stumbled upon your recipe when I did a Pinterest search for eggless muffins, after realizing we were out of eggs. I used frozen cranberries instead of blueberries, and added orange flavor-I substituted 1/4 of the 2 cups of milk with orange juice, added zest from 1 orange, and used half orange extract and half vanilla. I also used 1/2 cup of sugar and the equivalent of of 1/2 cup of sugar of stevia (1/6 cup). Otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly, and truly, these are incredible!!!! Cakelike, not dense-I’ve never made homemade muffins with this light and fluffy a texture, and I’ve been baking for way over 20 years.
Made as Cranberry-Orange muffins, they are extra-super-duper-fabulous with orange marmalade….
Now to try some of your other recipes, if this one was so amazing, I can’t wait to try the rest!!
rachnaskitchen says
Thanks Andrea you made my day. I loved the substitutions you made even I am curious to try your version. It feels amazing to have readers like you.
Thank you

Manjula says
Thank you for this awesome recipe. The muffins came out perfect this morning. I used frozen mixed berries instead and we all loved it! My 2yo had no fuss with her breakfast with these muffins.
I see a comment above about berries bleeding, but it didn’t happen with my frozen berries.
I want to rate this 5 star but for some reason I am unable to select the stars.
rachnaskitchen says
Thanks a lot Manjula
Mita says
This recipe is very similar to the one on savourthesense blog apart from the corn flour

Hello Shivani,
I can’t say how it would turn up in appearance but i am sure that taste would be same as using the fresh blueberries.
Thanks
