Ingredients:

• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 2 cups frozen blueberries
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 cup light margarine
• 2 cups Splenda granular
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/2 cup skim milk
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line or grease muffin cups.

2. Sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl, ensuring even distribution of leavening agents.

3. In another bowl, beat the light margarine, Splenda granular, and honey with an electric mixer until fluffy and well combined, creating a creamy base for the muffins.

4. Add the eggs one at a time, continuing to beat the mixture after each addition until fully incorporated. Then, stir in the vanilla extract for a fragrant touch.

5. Alternately add the sifted flour mixture and skim milk into the batter, ensuring to incorporate each addition fully before adding the next. This step helps to maintain the desired texture of the muffins.

6. Once the batter is well-blended, fold in the fresh and frozen blueberries gently. Be careful not to overmix to avoid bursting the berries and discoloring the batter.

7. Spoon the prepared batter into the lined or greased muffin cups, distributing it evenly among them to ensure uniform baking.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25 to 30 minutes or until the muffins turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. After baking, allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes to set before carefully removing them to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Once cooled, serve and enjoy these delightful Blueberry Muffins as a delicious treat for breakfast, snack time, or any occasion!

These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or frozen for longer preservation. Simply reheat in the microwave or oven for a quick and convenient snack anytime!
