Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C and line a 12-hole muffin tray with paper cases.
  2. Whisk together the oat milk alternative, lemon juice and chia seeds and set aside for 5 mins. Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Make a well in the centre, add the milk mixture followed by the oil and maple syrup and gradually whisk the wet ingredients into the dry, until smooth. Stir in 100g blueberries, then divide the mixture between the cupcake cases and top with the remaining blueberries.
  3. Add a dollop of almond butter to the top of each muffin, then bake for 15-20 mins until well risen and a skewer inserted into the centre (avoiding the almond butter) comes out clean. The muffins will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
