Do you ever wake up and just feel a spring time pep in your step? Not a morning person? Let these healthy blueberry muffins be your wake up call . Packed with whole grains, antioxidants, and natural sweeteners, that pep in your step will last you all morning. and best of all, this recipe is incredibly unfussy and forgiving. What a way to start the day!
Ingredients:
- 1 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/3 cup old fashioned oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup honey (maple syrup or agave syrup work as well)
- 2 egg whites (or whole eggs)
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full or nonfat)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen (dried work as well, just add an extra 1/4 cup yogurt for moisture)
- 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar, for sprinkling on top
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Unless using nonstick, coat all 12 cups of your muffin tin tray with cooking spray or oil
- Combine and stir dry ingredients
- In a separate bowl (I just use a large measuring cup to keep it simple), mix all wet ingredients.
- Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Overmixing will results in gummy, tough muffins
- Gently fold in your blueberries.
- Sprinkle each muffin with 1/4 teaspoon of turbinado sugar
- Bake 16-19 minutes, until golden brown and the sugar has melted.
While these beauties bake, I love to enjoy a few moments of peace and quiet with a cup of coffee in hand, watching the sun rise over the bay.
