BETTER BLUEBERRY MUFFINS (SHAPE MAGAZINE)



Better Blueberry Muffins (Shape Magazine) image

Good for you and YUMMY whole wheat blueberry muffins that you can enjoy without the guilt. Made solely with whole wheat flour, these muffins deliver not only on taste, but on nutrients such as protein and fiber. I couldn't find whole wheat pastry flour, so I used regular whole wheat flour. I also used 1% organic milk instead of buttermilk. Rather than top these with blueberry spread, I used my father-in-law's homemade peach preserves and they were WONDERFUL!!
