Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners, or grease the tin well with a vegan cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.
In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the plant-based milk, vegetable oil, applesauce, vanilla extract, and lemon juice.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix to avoid dense muffins.
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, ensuring even distribution throughout the batter.
Spoon the batter evenly into the 12 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these nut-free vegan blueberry muffins warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
