Vegan Bites: Blueberry Muffins



'Crazy Vegan Kitchen' has a fabulous blueberry muffin recipe that we tweaked a bit for our own kitchen, replacing sugar with maple syrup, changing the temperature and time, using a Chia Egg instead of Flax, but we definitely did not omit the lemon zest!! Good thing!
