Healthy Blueberry Muffins

There is nothing like Healthy Blueberry Muffins if you are after healthy breakfast ideas. This recipe features reduced oil. The basic muffin recipe is very forgiving: you can use white sugar, frozen blueberries or other berries and you can substitute yoghurt for the buttermilk.

You can prepare this healthy muffin recipe the night before - mix the dry and wet ingredients SEPARATELY. In the morning simply mix them together and add the fruit and bake.

Ingredients:

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 350° F / 180° C.
2. Line a 12 hole muffin tray with muffin papers. Spray with cooking spray.
3. Mix together the flour, baking powder and sugar.
4. Add the egg, buttermilk, vegetable oil and orange rind. Mix lightly with a fork or whisk. DON'T OVERBEAT or else your muffins will land up being heavy. Get the lumps out and make sure the mixture is just mixed - that's the secret. This mixture is fairly thick - a reasonably stiff dropping consistency (ie not a thin batter).
5. Lightly fold the blueberries into the batter.
6. Fill the muffin cases ¾ way up.
7. Bake for about 15 - 20 minutes until the muffins are well risen and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out just clean.
8. Cool on a wire rack.
