How to Prepare Blueberry Chia Muffins [Vegan]

Preheat the oven to 356°F (fan forced) and lightly grease you muffin tray with olive oil spray (or coconut oil).
In a large mixing bowl, add all the dry ingredients and mix well.
Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and add the remaining wet ingredients (all except the frozen blueberries). Mix well.
Gently fold in the frozen blueberries until fully combined.
Spoon the mixture equally into each muffin mold and place a few of the frozen blueberries on the top.
Place into the oven and bake for 15 mins. Rotate the tray and turn the temperature down to 140C and bake for a further 15 mins. These muffins don't give much of a rise, but they are so delicious non the less.
Remove from the oven and leave to cool fully. Use a non scratching implement to help remove them from the tray. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Notes

Use Organic wherever possible - For he CHIA drink replacement you can leave 1 TBS of chia seeds to swell in 1/2 cup of organic blueberry juice - These muffins are dense, decadent and gooey - They don't give much of a rise and are not light and fluffy.
