    Here's my fav healthy Blueberry Muffin recipe. I usually double up on the blueberries, as I am kind of a fanatic about them!

    • 1/3 cup sugar
    • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder

    • 5/8 cup low-fat buttermilk
    • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
    • 1/2 cup blueberries
    • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1/2 large egg, lightly beaten
    • cooking spray
    • 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
    Directions
    1. Combine dry ingredients in a bowl and mix well, make a well in the center.
    2. Combine buttermilk, butter, vanilla and egg in another bowl, mix and add to well in the center of dry ingredients.

    You can make any recipe you have healthier by substituting Splenda for sugar...egg beaters for eggs.. I substitute strawberry or cinnamon applesauce for any oils the recipe calls for:. and a 1/2 & 1/2 mix of whole wheat flour and white flour... of course reg size muffins are much less caloric than Texas sized muffins:). Good luck!

    Yum! I'd like to try these soon! How many muffins does this make? And would it be a mistake to use the entire egg?

    I'm pretty sure this recipe makes 12 muffins. They have a really great texture and kind of nutty flavor since you are using the oats to make oat flour. The original recipe I had called for just the egg white. I'm sure you could add the yolk, you would just have to add the nutritional value of the yolk into the recipe if you were counting calories, fat, etc. I love that the oats add good health benefits compared to recipes using just white flour.
