This lemon blueberry bread is one of the best-loved recipes on my blog. It just keeps going and going, and one of the reasons is because it is delicious. I’ve been looking for a way to adapt it into a muffin because the bread is very moist, and so it’s not exactly an ideal breakfast on the go. When the Soyfoods Association of North America asked me to come up with a recipe featuring one of their products for National Soyfoods this April, I came across the perfect one to adapt. Silk’s Strawberry Oat Muffins is ideal for turning into Lemon Blueberry Muffins using Silk Blueberry Dairy-free Yogurt Alternative.
The Silk Blueberry “Yogurt” added extra moisture to the muffins and additional blueberry flavor depth. The soy ingredient also sneaks in added protein and is heart-healthy, along with being delicious.

- In a separate bowl, stir together Silk blueberry yogurt alternative, brown sugar, oil, lemon zest, or lemon juice and vanilla.
- Use ¼ cup flour in a small bowl to lightly dust the blueberries, so they do not sink in the muffins when baking.
- Stir into flour mixture just until moistened, then fold in blueberries.
- Scoop into muffin cups, filling about ¾ of the cup to leave room for rising.
- Cook in the baking oven for about 20 minutes or till a toothpick in the center comes out clean.
