Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°. Line a muffin tin with muffin liners and set aside.
Next, melt the coconut oil and set it aside -- allow it to come to room temperature before using it. At this time, you should also prep the flax eggs: stir the flaxseed meal and water together and allow the mixture to sit for 5-10 minutes until the flaxseed has absorbed the water.
In a large bowl, stir the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together.
In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, applesauce and vanilla together; then, add in the coconut oil and flax eggs.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and use a rubber spatula to stir until combined; last, stir in the blueberries.
Spoon the mixture into your muffin tin then top each muffin with a few extra blueberries and a sprinkle of sugar (optional).
Bake the muffins for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove them from the oven and allow them to sit for 5 minutes before carefully transferring them to a cooling rack. Enjoy!
