What’s In These Blueberry Muffins without Salt?
I stock up on low sodium staples with Thrive Market – they have a fantastic selection of healthy & organic pantry items, natural home products, and great food finds on sale. You can save 30% off your first order, and get a $60 free gift by signing up!
- Blueberries: You can use fresh or frozen berries, depending on the time of year!
- All Purpose Flour: I normally use all purpose flour for all my baking recipes, I love the consistency and texture of the crumb this flour produces. If you are gluten free, then a gluten free flour would be a nice substitute in this muffin recipe.
- Granulated & Brown Sugar: I like this organic sugar for my recipes, it has a really nice texture in these cookies, I’d recommend Anthony’s organic sugar for baking.
- Sodium Free Baking Powder: Regular baking powder is high in sodium – check the labels! We love this low sodium version, for a healthier swap. And it still makes the fluffiest baked goods!
- Eggs – Eggs naturally contain about 60-70mg of sodium per large egg. We try to get cage free / free range eggs when we can. There isn’t any nutritional difference, but I always try to support animal welfare when I can!
- Butter – I like to use unsalted butter to reduce the amount of sodium in my cooking.
- Milk – you can use any variety you like! The higher the fat content, the creamier the milk will be. Make sure to check the sodium content of the milk before adding. I used unsweetened Almond Milk for my version of this recipe, which has 0% sodium.. I prefer almond milk, which Silk has a shelf-stable version that lasts up to a year in the pantry!
- Vanilla Extract: it’s super important to use real pure vanilla extract, and not artificial baking vanilla flavor. This real all natural vanilla is a fantastic ingredient to give these cookies an #extra boost.
- Crumble topping: made with cinnamon, sugar, coconut oil, and flour!
Which Milk Should I Use For A Low Sodium Diet?
Depending on your preferences, it’s up to you! I prefer to use a fresh homemade almond milk (only two ingredients: water + almonds!) and I follow my 5-minute recipe.
How Do I Make These Blueberry Muffins Without Milk or Butter?
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a muffin tin or line with paper liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, salt, and sodium free baking powder.
- In a small bowl mix the wet ingredients: eggs, vegetable oil, almond milk, vanilla extract. Once mixed, pour into the dry ingredients and stir well.
- Fold the blueberries into the batter, and scoop the batter into the muffin tin. Batter should fill the muffin cups to the top.
- Make the crumble: in a bowl, add the sugar, flour, cinnamon, and unsalted butter. Mash with a fork and scoop about a tablespoon over each muffin before baking.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Muffins will be ready when you can insert a toothpick into the center and it comes out clean.
Dietary Modifications, Vegan and Gluten Free Options
- Vegan Option: To make these vegan, use an egg replacer or flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flax meal mixed with 1 tablespoon of water, for each egg).
- Gluten Free Option: To make these gluten free: use a 1:1 gluten free baking mix or almond flour instead of the all purpose.
