How to make healthy blueberry muffins WW friendly 

Ingredients: 

200g Fresh blueberries

100 ml Skim milk

1 cups of flour (plain, 150g)

3 tsp Baking powder

1 medium Egg, lightly beaten

50g Reduced fat oil spread, melted and cooled

2 tablespoons of Natural sweetener, granulated

1 tsp Vanilla bean extract

1 tbs Demerara sugar

a pinch of salt

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line 8 holes of a ⅓ cup (80ml) capacity muffin tray with paper liners or cupcake liners. This prevents the muffins from sticking to the tray and makes the cleanup process easier.

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. 

Then, in a separate medium bowl, beat eggs along with milk, melted oil spread, sweetener, and vanilla extract until well combined. 

Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture then stir everything until combined. Be careful not to overmix because this can make the muffins tough. The batter should be slightly lumpy.

Gently fold in the blueberries. Use a spatula and turn the batter over until the blueberries are evenly distributed.

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin liners. Fill each one about two-thirds full to allow room for the muffins to rise. 

Sprinkle the tops with demerara sugar. This will add a slight crunch and a hint of sweetness to the muffins.

Place the muffin tray in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes.

Once the muffins are done, remove the tray from the oven and let the muffins cool for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely. 

Serve and enjoy! 

More notes and tips for the best WW blueberry muffins

  • I recommend using fresh blueberries, but if using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding them to the batter. This helps prevent them from bleeding into the batter and turning it purple.
  • Make sure that all wet ingredients (egg, milk, and melted oil spread) are at room temperature. 
  • Baking times can vary depending on your oven, so start checking at around 20 minutes.
  • Add a teaspoon of lemon or orange zest to the batter for a fresh citrus flavor that tastes good with the blueberries.
  • You can also add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to add a little bit of spice to the muffins.
  • You can use another sugar substitute like Stevia if you prefer. 
  • You can substitute the oil spread with cooking spray to reduce calories.

How to store blueberry muffins

Let the muffins cool completely before storing them to prevent them from getting soggy.

Place the cooled muffins in an airtight container. Line the bottom of the container with a paper towel to absorb any excess moisture.

Place another paper towel on top of the muffins before sealing the container to help maintain their texture.

Store the container at room temperature in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. The muffins should stay fresh for up to 3 days. 

You can also store the container in the refrigerator for up to 5 to 7 days.
