Moist, fluffy, and irresistibly delicious, these fat-free blueberry muffins prove that wholesome can taste indulgent!
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners, or lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the unsweetened applesauce, honey, vanilla extract, and egg whites until smooth. Stir in the non-dairy milk until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, folding gently with a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should just come together.
Gently fold in the blueberries and lemon zest, if using, to distribute them evenly without breaking the blueberries.
Evenly distribute the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. These muffins can also be frozen for longer storage.
