What is a vegan muffin made of? ›

A basic vegan muffin recipe requires just 7 simple ingredients. You'll need flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and egg replacement, non-dairy milk and oil. That's all!

Most English Muffins, both store-bought and homemade, contain some sort of dairy ingredients, whether milk, non-fat dry milk or another dairy-derived ingredient like whey or casein.

Vegan egg replacers work as binders which allows ingredients to stick together more by using long chains of sugars known as polysaccharides. These types of compounds make batters and doughs excessively gummy so they clump together and often result in a more dense, chewier baked item.

Vinegar cakes are rather old fashioned but are making a comeback in vegan baking. The vinegar replaces the moisture and lift given by eggs, and so they were very popular during rationing.

Using oil as a substitute for butter in muffins can result in a lighter and more tender crumb, but it may also produce a slightly different flavor, depending on the type of oil used. Applesauce can also be used as a substitute for butter in muffins, as it provides moisture and can help to keep the muffins tender.

The best bakery-style crumb muffins start with cake flour

Cake flour is more finely ground and has less protein, which leaves the muffins with a fine, light crumb and soft texture. Using cake flour is an easy way to avoid heavy, dense muffins even if you end up stirring just a bit too much.

Among other milk alternatives like almond milk, soy milk and oat milk, soy milk is by far the best for baking. I learned this over the course of several years and many cookies, cakes, muffins and pies. Moreover, some people will tell you that you must swap full-fat coconut milk in for heavy cream or half-and-half.

What type of milk is best for muffins? ›

Whole Milk: This is the most commonly used type of milk for baking muffins. It gives the muffins a rich and creamy flavor and a tender crumb. Buttermilk: Buttermilk adds a tangy flavor to muffins and helps to tenderize the crumb.

Water can be used in most recipes that call for milk.

Thomas' English Muffins are not vegan either, though I found several vegan-friendly brands sitting right next to them on the shelf. Just about every brand and type of bagels is vegan (except egg bagels, obviously), The popular Lender's and Thomas New York Style brands included.

Plant-based substitutes: Vegan baking often involves using ingredients like plant-based milk (e.g., almond milk, soy milk, oat milk), vegetable oils, nut butters, applesauce, mashed bananas, or tofu as replacements for dairy and eggs. These substitutes provide moisture, fat, and binding properties necessary in baking.
