This muffin recipe was developed because I wanted to include more whole wheat in my baked goods without the heaviness normally found when using it. There are no eggs or butter found in these morning treats either. Instead olive oil took the place of butter and baking soda and baking powder with a little yogurt worked wonderfully to replace the egg. Give them a try, you will not be disappointed!
A great way to start your day! These muffins have it all; heart healthy fiber, protein, heart healthy fats and vitamin packed blueberries. Good morning!
