These muffins taste good and they are good for you. Really they are good. Your kids will even eat them. I had to keep my little boy from stealing mine. I asked him if he liked them and he said mmmmmmm. There you have it people. I picky 18 month old said mmmmm while consuming them. You will like these because they are low fat and they are sweetened with honey. I am trying to cut back on my refined sugar consumption. These were a great start.
Blueberry Muffins
*If you don't want to use whole wheat flour you can decrease the amount of milk a little bit since whole wheat absorbs more liquid. Also you can use sugar in place of the honey as well. You can also leave out the cinnamon and use lemon zest to add a little zing.
1 cup frozen or fresh blueberries
1 cup skim milk
2 TB. vegetable oil
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1 egg
1/3 cup honey
2 cups whole wheat flour (use white wheat flour it tastes better)
3 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
Grease muffin tins. Mix the milk, oil, applesauce, honey, vanilla and egg together until well combined. Stir in the flour, cinnamon, baking powder and salt all at once until just combined. The batter should be lumpy. Carefully fold in the blueberries. Spoon batter into greased muffin cups, dividing batter evenly. Bake at 400 for 20 to 25 minutes or until tops are browned. Transfer immediately to cooling rack.
