Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with oil.
In a small bowl, combine the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes to create a vegan buttermilk substitute.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
In the bowl with the vegan buttermilk, add the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with turbinado sugar if youβd like a crunchy, sweet topping.
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 muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your vegan whole wheat blueberry muffins warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
