This wholesome treat satisfied my family’s sweet cravings on a very cold winter day. It’s an all-naturally sweetened, wholesome muffin recipe you must try—soft, fluffy, and bursting with juicy blueberries. No eggs needed, just simple, nourishing ingredients. And best of all, this muffin won’t leave you feeling heavy afterward.
I actually have another blueberry muffin recipe on my blog—it’s been my go-to for over two decades. But today, this egg-free, dairy-free version was a hit with my family. They couldn’t even tell the difference between this no-egg, no-milk batch and the earlier one I made with eggs and yogurt. Safe to say, it was a muffin kinda day—which, honestly, felt just right. It’s -24°C here with the wind chill!
This is the kind of sweet, nourishing treat that feels like comfort food but still leaves you feeling light—perfect for keeping spirits up and bellies satisfied on cold winter days.
Light, fluffy, and perfectly moist on the inside, with an even, delicate crust. Made without the usual egg-and-milk combo, this muffin is wonderfully satisfying yet won’t leave you feeling heavy afterward.
If you follow my blog, you may notice the influence of Ayurveda in my recipes. Ayurveda is one of the world’s oldest holistic health systems and still practiced today, gaining ground here in the West. Food preparation and combination of ingredients are looked at closely in Ayurvedic cooking. When it comes to food combinations, eggs and milk eaten together are heavy on the digestive system, and the same goes for meat or fish with milk. So if I can avoid this not so compatible food combination in my baking (and cooking), I go for it, and with this muffin recipe you can!
As an Ayurvedic practitioner, I see people with digestive issues, and also other symptoms. In any case, we look at the diet and lifestyle closely and get to the bottom of their situation. As they look after their digestive system, bedtime, and making small dietary changes with less processed and refined foods they feel better, and symptoms subside.
Egg-Free Blueberry Muffins
Makes 6 muffins
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes or until golden brown
INGREDIENTS
1 cup einkorn flour
⅓ cup sucanat or whole cane sugar
½ tsp cinnamon powder
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp soma salt or natural salt
¼ cup ghee, melted and slightly cooled
1 cup wild or regular blueberries (fresh or frozen)
½ cup fresh squeezed tangerine juice
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, cinnamon, sucanat or whole cane sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the melted ghee, blueberries, and tangerine juice. Gently mix until just combined—do not overmix. Batter will be thick.
Spoon the batter into muffin cups or a lightly greased muffin pan.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Enjoy!
VARIATIONS
Dairy-Free: Use ¼ cup melted coconut oil instead of ghee.
Juice Swap: Substitute orange juice if tangerines are not available.
Flour Options:
1 cup red fife flour instead of einkorn. Red fife is a Canadian heritage grain and bakes beautifully.
1 cup light buckwheat flour + 1 Tablespoon arrowroot flour. Buckwheat is naturally gluten-free; the arrowroot helps with binding and texture.
Can you spot the difference between the egg and no egg muffin batch? Both yummy!!
Left: With egg-milk/yogurt combo Chocolate Chip Muffin | Heavier, more complex to digest, especially for sensitive or sluggish digestion | For traditional muffin lovers, less dietary restriction
Right: No egg-milk combo No-Egg Blueberry Muffin | Lighter, easier on the digestive system | Great for those with egg intolerance, looking for easier-to-digest options
