Ingredients
-
1 1/2 cups milk (360 ml)
-
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar (10 ml)
-
3 cups all-purpose flour (360 g)
-
4 teaspoons baking powder (20 g)
-
1/3 teaspoon baking soda (1.5 g)
-
1 1/2 pinches of salt (1.5 g)
-
1 cup coconut sugar (200 g)
-
1/2 cup olive oil (120 ml)

Zest of 3/4 lemon (1.5 g)

1 1/2 tablespoons sage, finely chopped (1.5 g)
-
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract (7.5 ml)
-
3 cups fresh blueberries (444 g)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a 12-cup muffin tin with baking cups or coat with cooking spray.
In a small bowl, combine the milk and apple cider vinegar, then set aside to thicken for about 3-5 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Whisk together the coconut sugar, olive oil, lemon zest, sage, and vanilla extract. Add the thickened milk mixture and stir to combine.
Gradually stir in the dry ingredients until well combined, but avoid over-mixing. Gently fold in the blueberries.
Spoon the mixture into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool before removing them from the tin.
Enjoy!
Recipe Note
These blueberry sage muffins can typically be kept fresh for about 3-4 days when stored properly. Here are some storage tips to maximize freshness:
- At Room Temperature: Store the muffins in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic wrap at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- In the Refrigerator: To keep them fresh a little longer, you can store the muffins in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days, although the texture might become a bit denser.
- Freezing: If you want to keep them longer, muffins freeze well. Place them in an airtight container or freezer bag, and they’ll last for about 2-3 months. To enjoy, thaw them at room temperature or warm them up in the microwave or oven.
