What’s better than muffins for breakfast or a tasty afternoon pick me up? These Vegan Plum and Walnut Muffins are the perfect summer time combo. Plums are in season and absolutely divine this time of year.
A favourite snack at any age, muffins are one of my favourite things to bake. Making them at home enables you to use healthy whole food ingredients and a lot less sugar than ones bought from the shops and cafes. This particular recipe also comes together very easily and can be made gluten and nut free.
A Wonderful Lughnasadh Treat
Not to mention these are also a perfect addition to your Lughnasadh festivities if you are celebrating in the next few days. The ingredients and properties within pair incredibly well with our first harvest festival of the year. For more info on Lughnasadh you can check out my post HERE.
These plum and walnut muffins include properties for abundance, protection, love, health, longevity, and healing. Okay, let’s get into this recipe!

Be specific with your goal.
And Now The Plum and Walnut Muffin Recipe!
Makes 10 – 12 muffins | Time: 35 minutes
Ingredients:
- 3 – 4 plums chopped
- 1 1/2 cups spelt flour (can be replaced with gluten free 1:1 flour)
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1 tbsp shredded coconut
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 flax egg or egg replacer
- 1/2 cup plant milk (I used almond)
- 1/3 cup coconut oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup walnut pieces (omit if you need nut free, they are still delicious)
Preparation:
- Preheat your oven to 350F (180C, 160 Fan) and line or grease your muffin pan.
- Chop your plums and set aside to mix in last.
- Mix your ‘egg’ and leave to thicken.
- Mix together all dry ingredients in a large bowl and set aside.
- Now mix together all of your wet ingredients.
- Mix your wet ingredients into your dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Stir clockwise to encourage bringing forth protection into your life.
- Now gently mix in your plums and walnut pieces.
- Fill your muffin cups about 3/4 full. Though I like to fill mine a little bit extra so I only get 10 muffins with this recipe.
- Before putting into the oven, place your hands above the muffins and close your eyes. State the following, ‘May these wholesome treats, sacred gifts from the earth, bring protection into my life.’ You may tailor the statement to your individual intentions.
- Put to bake for 20 – 25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean (a few crumbs is okay). Mine took 22 minutes.
- Remove from oven and cool for 10 minutes before moving to a wire rack to cool completely. And enjoy!
These store well in an airtight container for about 3 days or in the fridge for a day or two longer.

Even though I was a few days late making these, YUM!!! Even with the substitutions (Einkorn flour, date sugar, cardamom and ginger replaced cinnamon, walnut milk, flax egg), WOW, so good! Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe and for the intentionally magikal phrase. That addition made this recipe that much more magikal and special.
I had never baked with plums before. But I plan to again! This recipe is now a must to make. I even drizzled some honey on. So good!! Thank you, Krystal!
