Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Line three 12-mini holes muffin trays with mini muffin paper liners. Slightly spray with oil. Set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk almond milk, olive oil, and vanilla extract, if used. Set aside.
Use a rubber spatula to stir in self-rising flour, sugar, salt, and cinnamon, if desired.
Combine using a rubber spatula to bring all the ingredients together, forming a smooth batter.
Fold in the wild blueberries, fresh or frozen, and stir until just combined.
Divide the batter evenly into the 36 mini muffins.
Bake the three 12-hole mini muffin pans on the center rack of your oven, one pan just under the middle rack, one just over, for 20-25 minutes at 350°F (180°C), rotating pans levels after 7 and 14 minutes. Bake until all the mini muffins are golden brown and a pick inserted in the center comes out clean.
If you can fit only one pan in the center rack of your oven, keep the remaining batter at room temperature until the first batch is baked. Then, bake the remaining batter following the same instructions.
Let the mini muffins cool down on a rack at room temperature for 30 minutes before eating.
