Blueberry Orange Muffins Recipe
As you guys know I'm always looking for a healthy recipe for myself and family. Going on a diet it's not an easy task. Especially getting used to eating foods that you typically would dredge with sugar and salt and salad dressing. Trust me, I get it! I have a sweet tooth and getting used to not having six heaping spoonfuls of sugar in my tea or even having iced coffee with a ton of sugar. Has taken a lot of getting used to. I'm always on the hunt to create healthier alternatives to the recipes that I love. I'm a huge fan of muffins and had some on blueberries on hand and couldn't wait to create a recipe using them. I try my best when cooking to not use all-purpose flour and instead use my homemade oats flour. I couldn't wait for these muffins to get out of the oven because they smelled amazing. Trust! They taste even better. I love how super simple this recipe was and I pretty much had everything on hand. Everyone in my home loved this recipe!

My favourite muffin is that one with hazelnut and springled icing sugar on the top. but this one seems to call me to try to make my own. I love muffins so I will absolutely try this one at home. thanks for the recipe. :)
ReplyDeleteI would never have thought about putting blueberry and orange together, it actually sounds like a tasty combination!
ReplyDeleteLooks good and a great way to sneak in extra fruits to my kids lunches.
ReplyDeleteThis combination looks yummy and healthy at the same time. Something kids would love to eat. I think I will give it a try this weekend. Thank you for sharing the recipe with us.
ReplyDeleteI want to start cooking with oats more. I am kind of going through a oatmeal phase. LOL these look yummy.
ReplyDeleteYUMMMMMY!!! Another recipe I must try! I like just about any kind of fruit-nut combination in muffins, but blueberry and banana-walnut are probably my favorites.
ReplyDeleteThis look so good and I love the way you made the representation.
