Healthy Blueberry Muffins
One of the main reasons people struggle with weight issues is because everything seems to have sugar in it. In my quest for a healthy new year, I’m attempting to reduce the amount of processed sugar I consume. I try not to add sugar to anything I’m cooking and really pay attention to the amount that Is in any product I buy.
Breakfast pastries are always filled with so much sugar. I do love a good Blueberry muffin. Sadly, they are typically overly sweet and loaded with sugar. So I set out to make a great blueberry muffin that has a lot of flavor and sweetness, but no processed sugar. I’m proud of my recipe and hope you will give it a try. You can whip up a batch in no time — 35 minutes max, from start to finish.
