Here’s a recipe for 1-point Blueberry Muffins, perfect if you’re following a program like Weight Watchers. These muffins are made lighter without sacrificing flavor!
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (you can use whole wheat flour for a healthier option)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 egg (or use egg substitute for a lower point option)
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- ½ cup nonfat Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup honey or stevia (optional for sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries (or frozen if needed)
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly spray with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together the egg, applesauce, Greek yogurt, honey (or stevia), and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined (don’t over-mix).
- Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
- Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center of a muffin.
- Allow them to cool for a few minutes before removing from the tin and transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
