Why We Love These Healthy Vegan Blueberry Tahini Oat Muffins

We were out of flour, and decided to make a healthier version of Vegan Blueberry Muffins.  During this pandemic, all-purpose flour is pretty hard for us to find right now!  If you’re out of flour, do not fear!

So whether you have access to flour or not, these Healthy Vegan Blueberry Tahini Oat Muffins are made with rolled oats instead of all-purpose flour.  They’re delicious and pretty easy to make.  Some people prefer not to use all-purpose flour, so these are a win-win on that account!

These vegan blueberry tahini oat muffins are the perfect snack to satisfy your sweet tooth cravings. Not only do they taste delicious, they are also healthier than many other muffin recipes because they don’t contain any processed sugar.

They are packed with beneficial ingredients, like healthy fats, protein, and fiber from tahini and oats, and bursts of natural sweetness from the fresh blueberries. Moreover, these muffins are vegan, easy to make, and can be adapted to suit any dietary restrictions.

About Tahini

The tahini gives these muffins a bit of density to fill you up for breakfast, or snack time.  I really like tahini, and think it gives this healthy blueberry muffin recipe a really good flavor.

Tahini has a strong, toasty flavor. It’s a little bit bitter, but not too strong. It doesn’t taste like other nut butters, like peanut butter, which are usually sweet. Instead, it has a creamy texture with a yummy sesame seed flavor.

If you’re not so keen on tahini you could tone it down to ~1/4 cup for the recipe.  If you like, you could also replace the tahini with any of your favorite nut butters.

About Arrowroot Powder

Initially, I planned on using flax eggs to help bind the muffins, and for the flax nutritional benefits.  I had just received some arrowroot powder though and decided to use it instead.  The arrowroot powder really works awesomely in this recipe.

f you’re unfamiliar with arrowroot powder, it’s basically a much healthier alternative to corn starch that is gmo-free.  It’s a super useful binding ingredient that is packed with nutrition.  You can use 2 flax eggs instead of arrowroot if you prefer for this recipe, but I think the texture will be much better (lighter and fluffier) with the arrowroot.

Notes

These muffins are not overly sweet.  We really enjoy them with a lemon glaze! To make the glaze simply stir together:
  1. Juice from half of a lemon
  2. 1/4 cup + 1 Tbsp powdered sugar
Alternatively if you prefer sweeter muffins you can add more sugar into the batter.  Or perhaps drizzle some maple syrup on them, yummm!

    I made the blueberry muffins for breakfast. They were amazing. Thank you so much. I had to substitute ground sesame seeds with a little water for tahini as I did not have any on hand. Theses will go in my recipe file
