Sunday morning I decided it was time to make some muffins.

The last muffins I blogged about were these Vegan Banana Nut Muffins (Gluten & Soy Free)

Today’s Muffins…
Please note the one bowl, no heavy mixing equipment, one spoon recipe.  I love saving on dishes and not dragging out power tools unless they are absolutely required!

Vegan Gluten Free Blueberry Streusel Muffins with Protein Option
1 c oats (please see This Post on Oats towards the bottom of it, if you are curious about oats being GF and Certified GF Oats vs. Regular Oats)

1/4 c white sugar (omit if you wish)

1 heaping Tsp Cinnamon
1/4 Tsp Baking Soda
Dash Vanilla Extract
2 Tbsp room-temperature Vegan Butter
1/2 to 3/4 c of water (batter should be thicker than pancake batter but not as thick as cookie dough)
Optional: 1/4 to 1/2 c raisins, other dried fruit, nuts, or seeds
Optional: 1 to 3 scoops of Protein Powder

Yields 9 Smaller Muffins (3 bites each) or 6 larger Muffins

Add 1/2 cup of blueberries and fold in (I used frozen but use fresh if you want)
Optional: Use seasonal fruit such as strawberries, peaches, nectarines, apples, etc.  Or use a combination.   You can easily make Peach Streusel Muffins or whatever sounds good!

Here’s 3 Bites of Goodness

Actually, of greatness, according to Scott.   Scott is not a Muffin Guy and he said these were the Best Muffins He’s Ever Eaten.  Gluten-Free and Vegan just add an extra feather in my cap.

These muffins almost need to be eaten with a fork.  There is no gluten and no egg so they are not the traditionally fluffy muffin-top type muffins.  You could of course add some gluten-containing flour and swap out for the oats I used if that’s your thing. But for me, these are perfect!
 
And if it’s super hot where you are and you can’t be bothered to turn on your oven at all, try my Raw Vegan Apple Crumble, which you can also sub-out apples, and sub-in any summer fruit from nectarines to blueberries to plums.
