What’s In These Blueberry Muffins without Salt?

See the recipe card below for a full list of instructions and ingredient amounts!

Blueberries: You can use fresh or frozen berries, depending on the time of year!
All Purpose Flour
Granulated & Brown Sugar
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.
Vanilla Extract: it’s super important to use real pure vanilla extract, and not artificial baking vanilla flavor.
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 our easy low sodium almond milk recipe.

How to Make This Recipe

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, 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 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.
