Whole Wheat Blueberry Muffins

A crazy thing happened the other day; someone asked for a blueberry muffin recipe. So I went straight for my computer and looked up my recipe index to search for mine. And guess what…there wasn’t one! Really, Kristine? I was shocked that I made it almost a year in the food blogosphere without blogging my blueberry muffins! How could this happen?

Whole food, whole wheat, blueberry muffins! I healthier way to make a delicious classic!

I immediately hustled off to the kitchen to take out some butter. After waiting a few hours for my butter to come up to room temperature, I whipped up my favorite real food blueberry muffin recipe and it was only then (with a belly full of muffins) that I realized why these never made it to my blog… We I eat them all!

When I originally made this recipe, I used maple syrup (or honey if that’s what I had on hand) because I hadn’t found granulated maple sugar yet! So, today when I made these, I had to make a few alterations to the recipe to account for the different sweetener (mainly lessening the flour, so keep that in mind if you use a liquid sweetener, just add an extra 1/4-1/2 cup of flour).

I also originally used melted coconut oil (however, my family is picky about their baked goods and prefer the butter version of these muffins), so for instructions on how to substitute with coconut oil, see the recipe notes.

As far as the muffins are concerned, they’re soft, spongy, and totally blueberry-y! And I really like the teensy hint of cinnamon (which you don’t always find in blueberry muffins). They’re perfect for breakfast (with coffee) or as a mid morning snack, or maybe both!
