Instructions
-
Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the dry ingredients: Splenda, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, mix together the wet ingredients, which include low-fat vanilla yogurt, egg substitute, canola oil, and walnut oil. Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined. Finally, fold in both the fresh and frozen blueberries, ensuring an even distribution without overmixing.
-
Fill the Muffin Tin: Lightly coat the bottoms only of a muffin tin with non-stick spray or oil. Fill each muffin cup approximately three-quarters full with the batter, allowing enough space for rising.
-
Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the muffins for about 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cooling: Allow the muffins to sit in the pan for about 5 minutes before gently removing them. This resting time helps them firm up slightly and makes for easier removal.
-
Storage: These muffins freeze exceptionally well, making them a convenient option for meal prep. Store them in an airtight container or freezer bag to keep them fresh.
Enjoy these nutritious and delicious Blueberry Oat Bran Muffins as a wholesome treat that fits perfectly into your healthy eating plan!
