Dairy-Free Breakfast Blueberry Cheesecake Muffins image

Being lactose intolerant, I have adjusted my Mom's old recipe to make it non-dairy. Here is the perfect alternative using Tofutti® cream cheese. You would never know it's not real cream cheese. Serve this for breakfast or brunch on a sunny spring day.

Time 35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 egg
¾ cup vanilla soy milk
⅓ cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon lemon zest
4 ounces dairy-free cream cheese (such as Tofutti®)
¾ cup fresh blueberries
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line cups with paper liners.
  • Combine flour, 1/2 cup sugar and baking powder in large bowl.
  • In a second bowl, beat egg. Mix in soy milk, oil, and lemon zest. Pour egg mixture into flour mixture and mix batter with a spatula until just moistened. Fold in blueberries. Mix in dairy-free cream cheese by the 1/4 teaspoon so there are small chunks all around the batter. Gently blend in. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 18 to 20 minutes.
  • Combine 3 tablespoons sugar and lemon juice and in a small bowl. Brush onto the warm muffins immediately after they come out of the oven.
