Servings 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour or gluten free flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup or honey
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup coconut oil melted (or olive oil)
- ½ teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with cooking spray.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the applesauce, maple syrup (or honey), eggs, melted coconut oil, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Whisk until well combined.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to overmix.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ⅔ full.
- Bake: Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve: Enjoy your healthy lemon blueberry muffins warm or at room temperature!
Notes
- If you prefer a sweeter muffin, feel free to increase the amount of maple syrup or honey to ⅓ cup.
- Fresh blueberries work best, but if using frozen, do not thaw them before adding to the batter to prevent excess moisture.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- Consider adding a handful of chopped nuts or seeds for extra crunch and nutrition!
