WW Recipe of the Day: Low-Fat Lemon Blueberry Muffins
Muffins are one of my favorite breakfast splurges. But I feel better when I go light on the fat and sugar in the morning.
So, I’m always on the lookout for light and healthy versions, like these Low-Fat Lemon Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins.
I spotted these easy healthy muffins in Taste of Home Comfort Food Diet Cookbook: Lose Weight with 433 Foods You Crave! (affiliate link), a great cookbook on loan from Mom.
Recipe Notes
I decided to make a half batch (6 muffins). Brimming with juicy blueberries and luscious lemon flavor, it’s the streusel topping that really makes them special.

Terrific Muffins – thank you (& your Mom) for this recipe
Excellent! Husband and grandkid approved! Thanks for the recipe Martha.
Ur recipe gets bonus points for being a smaller batch! Gonna try this soon. I only have rolled oats on hand, I am planning to pulse it and use in place of quick cooking oats. Do you think it would work out well?
These are perfect, delicious, moist and small. Perfect!
Love these!! Have also used strawberries, as well as strawberries and blackberries together (doubled the recipe for 12 muffins)

Hi Lola, I specify when the muffins are “mini” otherwise they are make in regular size muffin tins. Hope this helps.
