I’ve done a whole lot of experimenting with blueberry muffin recipes. I love a good muffin, but my hips have another idea. After much trial and error, I’ve come up with my own “healthy” version or what I call “Julie’s Healthy Muffins.” This version, while being tamer on my hips, taste fantic too!
This version isn’t super sweet. The fruit you add does give it a natural sweetness. The almond flour isn’t nice a fluffy like white flour. It’s more dense and filling. I love eating them for breakfast or an afternoon snack. I could eat muffins all day long, so these are good to have around. This recipe freezes well, so I do use it for my food prepping. I will often make these on Saturday or Sunday and grab straight from my freezer as I head out the door Mon-Tues at 5:15a for work. Prepping a few items on the weekends is a life saver, or should I say, a calorie saver for me during the busy week.
