Blueberry Orange Muffins (Diabetic Friendly) image

Low fat and low sugar yumminess! Found in Diabetic Cooking magazine, we enjoy these not-too-sweet cake-like muffins with fresh blueberries. With just a hint of orange flavor, I think I'll add one teaspoon of orange zest next time. If you prefer a sweeter muffin, I'd suggest increasing the sugar to 1/2 cup. This recipe can make 6 jumbo muffins or 3 jumbo/ 6 regular or just 12 regular!
