Vegan Blueberry and Almond Muffins

These muffins are stuffed with blueberries and almond butter and are a total crowd-pleaser!

When I discovered Pip and Nuts Blueberry Muffin Almond butter, I knew I had to make ACTUAL muffins and they did not disappoint, nor did they last long in my house. I wanted to make these for a grab and go breakfast option, because eating cake (or muffins) for breakfast is the best option ever. Back to the almond butter though, it really does have a blueberry muffin sweetness to it, you can smell it before you taste it and it reminds of those big fluffy muffins you see in Costcos, proper American muffins you know the ones. I don't know how I didn't grab a spoon and eat the whole jar of almond butter. These muffins are so easy to make and are so gooey and moist they really won't last very long, but arguably make a great meal prep option.
