How To Make Healthy Blueberry Muffins

Tips For Making Blueberry Muffins
Evenly Disperse The Blueberries
When you are pouring the batter into the muffin pan, make sure to disperse the blueberries as equally as possible.
Toss The Blueberries In Some Flour
It is best to lightly toss the blueberries in a little bit of flour. This helps remove any excess moisture and helps make sure the blueberries don’t sink to the bottom.
Use A Measuring Cup
We like to use a measuring cup or an ice cream scoop to put the batter in the muffin pan. This makes it easy and ensures that the batter will be evenly distributed.
Use A Nonstick Muffin Pan
We recommend using a nonstick muffin pan when making muffins.
How To Prevent Your Muffins From Sticking To Liners
If you want to use muffin liners, we recommend these parchment paper liners because we have found that the muffins don’t stick to them.
Don’t Overmix The Batter
Make sure to combine the ingredients but don’t overmix the batter. Muffins often become dense if the batter is overmixed.
Whisk The Wet Ingredients
It is important to whisk together all of the wet ingredients until there aren’t any more clumps of Greek yogurt.

I love this recipe for healthy blueberry muffins! So tasty!
Could I use oat flour ?
Thank you
Hi Eileen, you can replace all-purpose flour with oat flour in our cottage cheese blueberry muffins using slightly less – about 3/4 cup of oat flour for every 1 cup of all-purpose flour. Since oat flour lacks gluten, you might want to add a binding agent like 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water. Alternatively, you can use an extra egg to help with structure and moisture. If you choose the extra egg option, you might need to add a bit more oat flour to achieve the right batter consistency. Start with 3/4 cup of oat flour, as it absorbs more liquid, and if the batter seems too runny, gradually add more. I haven’t tried this substitution myself, but if you give it a go, let us know how it turns out! Also, we have a great recipe using oat flour you might want to try! It’s our blueberry baked oats recipe!
can i use honey instead of sugar or unhealthy sweetnerd
Hi Rick, we have not tested these muffins with honey instead of sugar. Since honey has a liquid texture, it may make the batter more wet, so check the consistency of the batter, you may need to reduce the amount of liquid you add. Keep in mind that when substituting honey for sugar in these blueberry muffins, you may not need as much, use about 1/2 cup of honey rather than 3/4 cup of sugar. Also, add an additional 1/8 teaspoon of baking soda to help the muffins rise. Lastly, you may want to lower the oven temperature by 25 degrees so they don’t over-brown. I hope this helps, and please let us know if you make them and how they turned out!
