What a snow storm we had today!!   There must be almost a foot of snow that’s fallen in the last 24 hours!  That makes me think of two things:  shoveling snow…and eating!!  There’s just something about being snowed in that makes home cooking all the better!

That was the case this morning, when I decided I wanted a hot cup of coffee…and homemade blueberry muffins!  And not just ANY blueberry muffins…but I wanted HEALTHY ones!  Yeah, I know, that begs the question “WHY”…but this is a FITNESS blog! 🙂

So…I thought I’d share a healthy muffin recipe that you can use on those occasions when you want to splurge a LITTLE, but still be good!  These muffins (when made to serve 12) have less than 300 calories!  Limit yourself to one or two, and take the rest to your neighbor or to work, and share the joy!

Here you go:

BEST FITNESS BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

1 ¼ cup bread flour

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 ½ tbsp. baking powder

1 cup sugar (I like to use natural sugar – demerara cane sugar – it’s not so overly processed!)

2 eggs

½ cup skim milk

½ cup canola oil

1 tbsp. vanilla flavoring

1 16 oz. can blueberries (I used ones packed in light syrup)

Simply mix the dry ingredients, add the remaining ones, sprinkle with just a hint of demerara sugar,  bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes…and presto-poofo…THEY ARE DELICIOUS!

All things in moderation!!!  Besides, spring will soon be here, and you can work your muffin off!!!  🙂

Stay fit!!
