Begin your Sunday morning with these scrumptious vegan blueberry muffins from The Duo Dishes.  Even though they are made without any milk or eggs, these muffins have a soft crumb.  Unsweetened applesauce is a key ingredient in this recipe because it keeps the muffins moist and replaces the fat added by the eggs.  If fresh blueberries are available, feel free to use the frozen variety.  Once you see how easy these vegan blueberry ginger muffins are to bake, you'll want to whip up a batch every weekend.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups flour plus 1 tablespoons, divided
1/2 cup almond pulp or almond meal
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 tablespoons flax seed
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced

1 cup plus 1 tablespoon soy milk*
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:

In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the apple sauce, vegetable oil, soy milk, vanilla and sugar until smooth.
