Easy Vanilla Muffins 4 Ingredients No Eggs

I love making delicious muffin recipes for my kids, like my Chocolate Muffins, Black Bean Muffins, or Vegan Spinach Muffins, but today, they asked me for classic vegan muffins. I wanted to find a way to make a very simple version. I managed to make vanilla muffins with a classic flavor, traditional fluffy texture and only 4 plant-based ingredients!

Ingredients and Substitutions

You only need 4 base ingredients to make these muffins.

Self-Rising Flour – If you don’t have self-rising flour, make your own by combining all-purpose flour with baking powder. For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free all-purpose flour with almond flour and gluten-free baking powder (see recipe notes for details). Light Olive Oil – Use oils with a neutral flavor, such as canola, sunflower, avocado, or grapeseed oil. Avoid melted coconut oil since it may solidify when mixed with cold liquids. Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk – This adds a subtle vanilla flavor. If you don’t have vanilla-flavored milk, use other plant-based milk like soy, oat, or rice milk and add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract if using unflavored milk. Sugar – Any granulated sugar works. Choose coconut sugar or raw cane sugar for a darker muffin and a hint of caramel flavor.
