    8 Delectable and Healthy Vegan Muffins

    Published: Oct 6, 2014 · Updated: Aug 18, 2021 · This post may contain affiliate links.

    A healthy vegan muffin recipe that's moist and cake-like isn't hard to find — here are 8 of our favorites to choose from. Incorporating whole grains, fruits, and nuts, these muffins are good for any time of day as a treat or dessert; they're also a fantastic addition to portable lunches. Here are some of VegKitchen's favorites; make sure to browse through all of our vegan muffin recipes.

    Pretty streusel-topped Double-Orange Chocolate Chip Muffins (at top) are not only delicious, but contain a dose of Vitamin C from fresh orange juice as well as concentrated orange juice. The concentrate also contributes sweetness as well as color. 

    Orange-cranberry muffins

    Orange-Cranberry Muffins make for a lively flavor combination in baked goods. If I’m in the mood to make muffins for a weekend brunch, this is one of my top choices! And for holiday baking or giving, this batter is nice made into mini-loaves.

    Pumpkin Chocolate chip muffins

    Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins might seem a little odd at first, but the flavors of pumpkin (or other orange winter squash, especially butternut) and chocolate are surprisingly compatible. They just could become a fall favorite to serve with tea or nondairy hot cocoa. 

    Zucchini-raisin muffins recipe 2

    The classic zucchini muffin in a vegan rendition—try it as an alternative to a sandwich for brown-bag or school lunch, or as a healthy snack. For these Zucchini-Raisin Muffins, the chocolate chips and walnuts are optional, but I like to use them both!

    Quinoa Apricot Mini-Muffins

    These light and healthy Quinoa, Apricot, and Oat Muffin Clusters boast an irresistible creamy, crunchy sweetness. Apricots are rich in iron, potassium, vitamin A and fiber. Also, these muffin clusters are flourless and gluten-free! Enjoy these yummy and good for you treats … they are nutrient-rich and delish!

    Vegan carrot muffins - recipe

    Talk about healthy vegan muffins! Vegan Carrot-Walnut Muffins provide a dose of vitamins A and C. Make them in the evening; enjoy a warm muffin for your evening snack, then the next day for an on-the-go breakfast. Or, pack a couple in your or your kids’ lunch box with fresh fruit for a change of pace from a sandwich.

    Gingery Peach or Nectarine muffins - vegan

    For these Gingery Peach or Nectarine Muffins make sure to use perfectly ripe peaches or nectarines—lush and sweet, but not too soft—for these late-summer vegan muffins that have more than a hint of ginger! 

    Crunchy Granola Muffins recipe

    It’s back to the 1960s with these hearty (but not heavy) crunchy granola muffins! Use your favorite homemade or bulk-purchased granola for these easy vegan muffins.
