We are currently getting very good blueberries in Sydney. Blueberries are small purple colored sweet fruit. It can be eaten fresh. It is also processed and is available as a frozen fruit throughout the year. We can make different dishes such as juice, jam, ice cream, cake, smoothie, milkshake, muffins from blueberry. I love blueberries and like to use it in making different dishes. I often make smoothie and milkshake from blueberries. This time I thought of making muffins using blueberries. I wanted to make them egg-less.
I tried them for the very first time and the result was amazing.
I tried them to make them healthy by using whole wheat flour, olive oil in place of butter, fresh lemon juice.
Lemon juice reacts with the leavening agents and helps to make muffin fluffier and soft.
I have tried to use the simple ingredients available in the pantry. You can replace olive oil with any refined oil of your choice.
They are very easy to make and are a healthy treat for the kid’s lunch box, morning breakfast or evening high tea.
Make sure you measure the ingredients as per the recipe while baking cakes, cookies or muffins.
You can try this recipe with strawberry, cranberry or choc chips.
