HEALTHY BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. If necessary, grease all 12 cups on your muffin tin with butter, coconut oil or cooking spray (my pan is non-stick and doesn't require any grease).
• In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 3/4 cups of the flour with the baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Mix them together with a whisk.
• In a medium mixing bowl, combine the oil and honey or maple syrup and beat together with a whisk. Add the eggs and beat well, then add the yogurt and vanilla. Mix well. (If the coconut oil solidifies in contact with cold ingredients, gently warm the mixture in the microwave in 30 second bursts.)
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix with a big spoon, just until combined (a few lumps are ok). In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with the remaining 1 teaspoon flour (this helps prevent the blueberries from sinking to the bottom). Gently fold the blueberries into the batter. The mixture will be thick, but don't worry.
• Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin cups (I used an ice cream scoop with a wire level, which worked perfectly). Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with turbinado sugar. Bake the muffins for 16 to 19 minutes, or until the muffins are golden on top and a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean.
• Place the muffin tin on a cooling rack to cool. You might need to run a butter knife along the outer edge of the muffins to loosen them from the pan. If you have leftover muffins, store them, covered, at room temperature for 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Freeze leftover muffins for up to 3 months.

HEALTHY WHOLE WHEAT BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together the flour (excluding the 1/2 tsp) with the baking powder and salt. Set aside.
• In a separate large bowl, stir all the remaining ingredients together, excluding the blueberries and cane sugar.
• Add in the flour mixture and gently whisk until JUST moistened - should only be 8-12 stirs. You want to see a few floury streaks and some many small lumps. This is the KEY to good, soft muffins.
• In a small bowl, mix together the remaining 1/2 tsp of flour with the blueberries. Fold them into the batter gently, making sure to not mix it more.
• Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. DO NOT SKIP THIS. It helps make them nice and domed.
• Once chilled, heat your oven to 450 degrees and generously spray a muffin pan with cooking spray.
• Use a large ice cream scoop (I like one that is spring loaded) and scoop the batter into the muffin cavities - they will be almost full which is okay. Sprinkle the tops with the remaining cane sugar.
• Bake for 5 minutes. Then, turn down the heat to 375 degrees and bake another 15-16 minutes until the outside is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Once cooked, cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer to a cooling rack to cool COMPLETELY before serving (I like to flip mine upside down so the bottoms don't get soggy.) ***
• DEVOUR!

• Divide evenly among the prepared muffin pan. Sprinkle with oats and turbinado sugar if using. Bake until the muffins are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 24 minutes. Cool in the pan for a few minutes, and then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
