Reader Request

We recently received a message from a Fit Foodie Finds follower that said she was looking for a healthy blueberry muffin recipe on our site and couldn’t find one! Well, she couldn’t find one because we didn’t have one! Can you believe it?! We couldn’t either.

We love getting requests from you guys because it inspires us to give the people what they want. We dove into recipe testing and wanted these healthy blueberry muffins to taste exactly like the real deal, but without the refined sugar and processed flour. And so, we give you the most delicious whole wheat blueberry muffins on the internet!

Healthy Swaps

When it comes to healthy swaps and baking, there are 3 things to keep in mind –> Flour + Sugar + Fat. Check out the swaps we make below!

Flour: Ditch the white flour and use white whole wheat flour for a whole grain flour option. This will give you a serving of whole grains and a delicious nutty flavor. Option to sub an all-purpose gluten-free flour if you are celiac.

Note: unfortunately we do not recommend using a nut-free flour such as almond or coconut. You’ll need to find a different recipe if this is what you’re hoping for!

Sugar: This recipe is sweetened exclusively with all-natural sugars. We opted to remove the refined, white sugar and replace it with honey and banana.

Fat: The only fat that these healthy blueberry muffins call for is 2 tablespoons of coconut oil. We were able to reduce the oil-content because mashed banana helps make these muffins extra moist!

How to Freeze Muffins

First, let the muffins cool completely.
Then, place muffins on a baking sheet and place the baking sheet into the freezer.
Freeze for at least 2 hours.
Once the muffins are frozen, transfer into a freezer-safe, gallon-size bag. Then, remove as much air as possible and seal.
Write “Blueberry Muffins” on the front of the bag along with an “eat by date” 3 months from the time you made the muffins.

To thaw: remove a frozen muffin from the bag. Then, let thaw on the countertop for 30 minutes OR defrost in the microwave for a few minutes.
