Healthy Blueberry Lemon Muffins

These Healthy Blueberry Lemon Muffins are going to be your new favorite muffin. They taste so fresh and delicious you’re going to have a hard time eating just one (or two, or three). They also freeze great for an easy weekday breakfast.

My kids love these Healthy Blueberry Lemon Muffins. Especially my teenager, who has a weird affinity for little food. I think it comes from having little sisters who sometimes  require things to be cut up into little bits. I often double or triple this  recipe so that I can cook once but freeze several sets of muffins at one time. Once the muffins cool, I store 6 muffins at a time in gallon-sized freezer bags. When we’re ready for more muffins, I just move a bag from the freezer to the refrigerator to thaw. I prefer mine after a few seconds in the microwave with a little butter. My teenager pulls them straight from the refrigerator and into her bag for school. By the time she gets to lunch they are nice and room temperature. My two babies prefer them in both hands with fresh blueberries smeared across their faces.



The crumb on these muffins is fantastic. The center is light is moist and the tops are just a little flaky – so good! Moving to whole wheat can be a big step. Goods baked with traditional whole wheat are denser than their counterparts for certain. White Whole Wheat Flour has all the nutritional advantages of traditional whole wheat , but with lighter color and milder taste.  Is is not quite as easy to find – especially organic – but worth the search to make whole wheat baked good that are still light and fluffy. If you can’t find it in your area, you can order it online.  Learn about Whole White Wheat flour at the Whole Grains Council’s website. Then try it out on these blueberry muffins!

Ingredients

  • 3 cups white whole wheat flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup maple syrup
  • 3/4 cup coconut oil
  • 2 egg
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1 lemon, for zesting
  • 2 pints blueberries fresh or frozen

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Oil muffin pan, or line with paper liners. Whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl.
  2. Whisk liquefied coconut oil, egg, milk, maple syrup, and the zest from one lemon together in a separate bowl until smooth. Remember that if you add coconut oil to cold ingredients it will turn solid. If you have trouble, just warm the bowl and batter in the microwave or over a pot of warm water. (I always make sure to use a microwave safe bowl for just for this reason. You would think I would eventually learn this lesson.)
