Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and line a muffin tin with 12 paper liners, or lightly grease the tin with a non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oat flour, vegan protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, mix the almond milk, unsweetened applesauce, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.
Carefully fold in the blueberries, chia seeds, and lemon zest (if using) using a spatula.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups. Fill each cup about 3/4 full to ensure they rise nicely.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. These muffins can also be frozen for up to 1 month.
