Blueberry muffin recipes?

eating4balance

Right now I am stuck using a blueberry muffin mix box, but I would like to be able to make a blueberry muffin at home, without all of the artificial and unhealthy ingredients in Betty Crocker's mix.

Does anybody have a really good and healthy blueberry muffin recipe? (Not too dense or dry)

P.S. I don't use splenda or any other artificial sweeteners. Sugar, fructose and honey are fine by me

LOVE these! I freeze them, and even though they're suuuper moist, they don't mold if you don't freeze them

Yum. Those sound really good! And only about 130 calories each! I have never used yogurt in place of fat in a recipe, only applesauce. Do you find that yogurt works better?

I like doubled the blueberries, but they're def moist, if I had the option i wouldn't use applesauce. They're great how they are ;-)

I got this recipe off the forums here but unfortunately did not note the author's name.

The recipe and all the comments below are hers. I can say this: I just pulled my very first batch out of the oven, and was surprised at how truly delicious they are. I added more blueberries to mine, but everything else seems right on. They are not at all dry or heavy -- and are just sweet enough to be really satisfying. Hope you enjoy them as much as I am!

Fresh Blueberry Banana Muffins

Ingredients:
1/2 cup Skim Milk
1/2 cup Blueberries
3/4 cup old fashioned oats
1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoon Salt
2 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
2 tablespoons honey or agave
3 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Egg
3 Bananas, mashed
1 tablespoon Cinnamon
1 1/4 cups Whole Wheat Flour

Mix all ingredients together, and put into muffin pan about 2/3 of the way full. This will be a pretty thick muffin mix. I added my blueberries in last, and hand stirred them as to not squish them in my mixer. bakes at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. I made 24 muffins with this recipe

The entire family loved these! The real serving size is probably more like 2 muffins, but hey with a glass of milk it may satisfy! My calorie count had Honey, and one regular egg. I will use my egg whites next time, to reduce a little more. The calories may change a little for the agave also. Enjoy!!

They are like .... coffee shop/bakery size big. I can make 12 in the 2" muffin tins, or 6 in the 3" muffin tin. I don't know why I ever bother making 2" muffins because I just eat 2 instead of 1, hehe

Lemon-blueberry muffins

Lemon-blueberry muffins, with a sour-sweet glaze and hint of nutmeg, are perfect any time of day.

Yield: 1 dozen (serving size: 1 muffin)

Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 cup butter
1 1/4 cups low-fat buttermilk
1 large egg
1 tablespoon grated lemon rind
1 cup blueberries
Cooking spray
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup powdered sugar
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400°.

Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour and next 5 ingredients (flour through nutmeg) in a medium bowl; cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal.

Combine buttermilk, egg, and rind; stir well with a whisk. Add to flour mixture; stir just until moist. Gently fold in blueberries.

Spoon batter into 12 muffin cups coated with cooking spray. Bake at 400° for 20 minutes or until the muffins spring back when lightly touched. Remove muffins from pans immediately, and place on a wire rack to cool.

Combine lemon juice and powdered sugar in a small bowl. Drizzle glaze evenly over cooled muffins.

Note: You can make these muffins up to 2 days ahead and glaze them the morning of the brunch.
