10 Healthy Blueberry Muffin Recipes

Weight Watchers Recipe of the Day: Healthy Blueberry Muffins

Do you have a weak spot for blueberry muffins?

I have loved them for as long as I can remember but I don't indulge in them very often.

Blueberries are healthy but the blueberry muffins found in today's bakery cases are not!

They are huge calorie and sugar bombs that my body really doesn't appreciate.

Sure, they taste good, but within an hour or two I'm shaky and ravenous. A feeling I try to avoid.

Not to mention the calories...

Did you know that muffins sold today in coffee shops, grocery stores, and vending machines are more than twice as big as those sold back in the 1950s, and are more than three times the size of one standard portion?

The Skinny on Blueberry Muffins

A little online research revealed that the blueberry muffins sold at Starbucks pack 450 calories, 22 grams of fat, and 31 grams of sugar, while those at Dunkin Donuts are even worse!

That's more than twice the calories of a glazed donut and more than the typical chocolate croissant.

That's where healthy blueberry muffins come in.

There are thousands of different blueberry muffin recipes - but how many of them are healthy muffin that also tastes great?

Not many!

You can boost the nutrition of your blueberry muffins in lots of different ways - use wholewheat flour instead of white, decrease the sugar and fat, and add more blueberries - for starters.

And by baking them in standard muffin tins, intend of the jumbo ones, you will have healthy blueberry muffins that are much closer to a realistic portion size.

Here is a great collection of healthy blueberry muffin recipes for you to try.
