Ingredients

Making Vegan savoury muffins is easy, all you need are a few basic ingredients.

For the full ingredient measurements, scroll down to view the recipe card at the bottom of the page.

All the ingredients needed presented in small bowls.
  • White whole wheat flour or all purpose flour
  • Rolled oats
  • Mixed seeds and Hemp seeds
  • Baking powder and baking soda
  • Spices, salt, garlic powder, Italian herbs and cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Unsweetened non-dairy milk, I used almond milk
  • Soy yogurt, unsweetened
  • Apple cider vinegar
  • Shredded vegan cheese
  • Sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil
  • Carrot, grated
  • Zucchini, grated

See recipe card for quantities.

You can make these Vegan savoury muffin in just one bowl.

For the full instructions see the recipe card at the bottom.

Let the muffins cool down in the muffin pan for about 15 min, then gently remove them. Enjoy these savoury muffins warm or at room temperature.

Hint:

The batter will be very thick before the vegetables are added. The carrot and the zucchini will release a lot of liquid when baked.

No need to squeeze out the liquid out of the zucchini before adding it to the batter.

Substitutions

If you know how to make the recipe fit a certain diet, let the reader know here. Don’t fake it – only provide guidance on topics you have actual experience with.

  • Flour – instead of white whole wheat flour, you can use normal whole week flour or all purpose flour.
  • Seeds – I used a mix of seeds, but only one type of seeds can be used. The hemp seeds can also be replaced by mixed seeds.
  • Vegetables – I used a mix of grated zucchini and carrot for these savoury muffins, either all zucchini or all carrot can also be used.
  • Cheese – This vegan savoury muffin recipe uses shredded vegan cheese, but it can also be omitted or replaced with vegan feta cheese or 2 tablespoon nutritional yeast.

Variations

Here are some ideas to put your own twist on these savory veggie muffins.

  • Herbs – Add some fresh chopped herbs like basil, oregano, dill or parsley to enhance the flavour.
  • Veggies – add some more veggies like a little chopped fresh spinach or red peppers.

These savoury vegan muffins tasted amazing lightly toasted and topped with some Pesto Hummus.

Storage

Store your leftover vegan vegetable muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Or wrap them individually in plastic wrap and then place in a ziplock bag and freeze for up to 3 months.

You can serve these Vegan savoury muffins room temperature or they also taste great heated in the microwave for about 30 seconds.

Top tip

Don’t over mix the batter! Only stir until just combined then fold in the veggies for the best result. The batter will be very thick before the vegetables are added. Don’t worry, the carrot and the zucchini will release a lot of liquid when baked for added moisture.

It is very important to grease the muffin tin well, or use paper liners. Otherwise they will stick to the pan!

I like to heat up these vegan vegetable muffins and serve them with some vegan butter or even some homemade guacamole for a filling snack or even light lunch with some protein packed Red Lentil Salad.

Yes! These vegan savoury muffins freeze really well. Fort make sure they are completely cool, then place them in an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months. Let them defrost in room temperature.

Why are my savoury muffins dry?

Make sure you measure all the ingredients correctly. If theses too much flour or too little veggies this vegan savoury muffin recipe might come out dry. Over baking can also cause dry muffins so keep a close eye on the at the end of the baking time. They should be starting to turn golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
