    How To Make Vegan Pistachio Blueberry Muffins

    For the full method and ingredient amounts, please refer to the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

    Step By Step Instructions

    STEP ONE

    Grease cupcake liners with oil.

    Two muffin trays lined with cupcake liners and greased.

    STEP TWO

    Add the wet ingredients along with the bananas and sugar to a bowl. Mix well.

    The wet ingredients in a bowl.

    STEP THREE

    Fold in the remaining dry ingredients, other than the blueberries and pistachios.

    The dry ingredients folded in.

    STEP FOUR

    Fold in the blueberries and pistachios.

    The pistachios and blueberries are now folded into the batter too.

    STEP FIVE

    Distribute the muffin batter between the cupcake liners then bake.

    The pistachio muffins mixture has been poured into the liners.

    STEP SIX

    Let the muffins cool in the tray and then on a cooling rack.

    The pistachio muffins are baked and cooling. Golden brown and delicious.

    Tips for Making Perfect Vegan Muffins

    Don't over mix the batter.

    Doing so will result in you having dense pistachio muffins.

    Use the skin on the pistachio kernels (NOT the shells).

    The skin which peels off the pistachio kernels is super flavourful, so when you're chopping the pistachios be sure to keep the skin. Don't consume the shells as these are inedible.

    Avoid the muffins sticking to the cupcake liners.

    When lining the muffin tin, add a splash of oil to each of the cupcake liners. This way the muffins will be easily removable.

    Customise This Recipe

    • If you don't like pistachios, use a different kind of nut. Even though these are pistachio muffins, you can swap them for chopped hazelnuts (or any nut) if you wish.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can you make pistachio muffins without a pistachio pudding mix?

    Yes! This recipe just uses natural pistachios. I'm not sure whether the pistachio pudding mixes are vegan or not. Some people even add green food colouring to pistachio muffins. Not a fan.

    Can You Freeze Pistachio Muffins?

    Yes! Place in freezer bags for up to 3 months.

    How To Store My Vegan Muffins

    Store these at room temperature for 2 days either in an airtight container or on a plate covered with plastic wrap. Alternatively, you can store in the fridge for 4 days in an airtight container.

    Ingredients

    Wet Ingredients:

    • 2 large ripe bananas mashed
    • 180 g granulated sugar
    • 240 ml soy milk
    • 2.5 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
    • 75 ml vegetable oil
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla

     Dry Ingredients:

    • 275 g all-purpose flour
    • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 200 g fresh blueberries
    • 70 g pistachio kernels coarsely chopped

    Instructions

    Preparation:

    • Preheat your oven to 200 Celsius.
    • Line two 8-hole muffin trays with cupcake liners. I only have 6-hole muffin trays so I made the extra 4 muffins at the end.  
    • Grease all 16 liners with a drop of oil. Set aside.

    Make the muffin batter:

    • Add the mashed bananas, sugar, soy milk, vinegar, oil and vanilla to a large bowl. Mix well. Now, gradually add your all-purpose flour to the mixture, followed by the baking powder and salt.
    • Fold the dry ingredients into the wet. Don’t over mix. Just make sure that there are no pockets of flour remaining.
    • Next, fold in your blueberries and coarsely chopped pistachios.
    • Finally, distribute your muffin batter equally between the 12 cupcake liners. Add the remaining pistachios and blueberries on top.

     Bake the muffins:

    • Your muffins are now ready to be baked! Place the tray/s into the centre of the preheated oven and bake for 21 minutes. They should be golden brown, and a skewer should come out completely clean.
    • Allow your pistachio muffins to cool in the tray/s for 10-15 minutes then transfer them to a cooling rack.
