Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
1 cup self-rising flour
½ cup dairy-free yogurt
⅓ cup maple syrup
⅔ cup fresh blueberries
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease the paper.
In a large mixing bowl, add the self-rising flour, dairy-free yogurt, and maple syrup. Stir with a spatula until a thick, muffin-like dough forms.
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, taking care not to crush them.
Using a cookie scoop or large spoon, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each cookie. You should get about 6 cookies.
Bake on the center rack for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden and the blueberries have burst.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. Carefully slide a flat spatula under each cookie and transfer them to a cooling rack.
Allow the cookies to cool completely for about 1 hour so they can firm up and develop the best muffin-like texture.
