If you are looking for a breakfast menu that is easy to prepare and healthy too, then blueberry muffin recipe is for you. In fact, you can make blueberry muffins within an hour, including the preparation and baking time.

So, instead of buying muffins from the bakery, why not bake them on your own. With these delicious muffins, you and your family members can also partake of the blueberries health benefits.

Following is one of the mouth-watering blueberry muffin recipes that you can try baking at home. This recipe is made healthier by using 100% whole grain pastry flour, oat bran and flax meal, less sugar, reduced saturated fat content and adding lots of antioxidant rich berries. I’ve used blueberries, but feel free to substitute your favorite berry!

*These muffins make a nice addition to the lunch box, a quick breakfast or a nice snack with a cup of tea.

*This recipe makes about 18 small muffins or 12 larger muffins.


Healthy Blueberry Muffin Recipe Ingredients:

1 cup milk

2 Tablespoons of Melted Butter

3 Tablespoons of Grapeseed Oil

1 1/2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract

2 Large Organic Free Range Eggs

1 1/2 cups Whole Grain Pastry Flour

1/2 Cup of Oat Bran

1 Tablespoon of Flax Meal

1/2 Cup of Sugar

2 teaspoons Baking Powder

1/2 Teaspoon Salt

2 cups Fresh Blueberries or 1 1/2 cups Frozen Blueberries (defrosted – drain excess liquid)


Healthy Blueberry Muffin Recipe Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 400F

• Line muffin cups with recycled paper liners.

• Combine wet ingredients: milk, oil, butter and eggs, and vanilla. Super time saver tip – measure your milk in a jumbo measuring cup and add your other liquid ingredients in the same cup. Saves dishes!


• Combine dry ingredients: Sift flour, add sugar, oat bran, flax meal, baking powder and salt into large bowl. Shift the dry ingredients into a well shape.

• Pour wet ingredients into the well you made with your dry ingredients. Fold in blueberries.

• Scoop muffin mix into the prepared muffin cups. Bake until golden and toothpick comes out clean, about 15-20 minutes.


Hot Tip: Using frozen berries may result in “black-ish” dark purple muffins… not so pretty.

Prevent this by setting aside 1/3 of your batter. Fill the tins with 2/3 of the dark “berry batter”. Then over top of the “berry batter” pour the reserved “berry-free batter”. Voila. Golden topped, berry filled muffins even a toddler will eat.


*Hope you enjoyed this healthy blueberry muffin recipe, now I'd like to tell you about my favorite diet program that uses a lot of the healthy lower GI foods: Isabel de los Rios' 'The Diet Solution Program'.

The Diet Solution Program favours a long term health orientated approach to fat loss, but not offering anyone a quick fix to their weight troubles. It has loads of valuable data and research to support its approach. I personally investigated the program thoroughly and my mum has been using it for a while now. I have to say she got some great results.

The nutrition plan is one of the healthiest we have seen, a strong core focus on vegetables, fruits, vitamin dense foods, lean proteins, select dairy produce and a clear approach to not expecting one diet to work for all body types. So give it a try and let me know how you’re doing.*
