How to Make Blueberry Muffins
Get ready to delight your taste buds with this healthy blueberry muffin recipe! First, preheat your oven to 400 degrees and give your muffin tin a quick spritz of cooking spray. In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat pastry flour, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon.
Now it’s time to mix up the wet ingredients: melted coconut oil, unsweetened applesauce, eggs, honey, vanilla extract and tangy nonfat Greek yogurt. Blend the wet ingredients into your dry ingredients, then stir in some fresh or frozen blueberries.
Pour your batter into 12 muffin cups, pop them in the oven, and bake for 15 minutes. Once your muffins pass the toothpick test, let them cool for about five minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Patience is a virtue, so wait for them to cool completely before chowing down!
