Whole Wheat & Chia Blueberry Muffins

 OK!  Hi there!  It's been a while. I wanted to share a delicious and super simple muffin recipe that's so damn good for you too!  These beauties are packed with fiber and protein, along with some natural sweetness from the blueberries.  These are moist, yet dense, which helps keep you feeling satisfied. Add a little peanut butter too while they are warm!  

 

I thought I'd get going with the recipe instead of writing a novel that keeps you scrolling seven times before getting to the thing you actually want...the RECIPE!

 

So, I said hello, I hope to be back soon with another fun blog post and recipe.  In the mean time, enjoy! 

 

 Whole Wheat & Chia Blueberry Muffins

Bake @ 375 for about 20-25 min. Insert a toothpick inside a muffin.  If it comes out clean, they are more than done!

*Butter or spray a muffin tin or use liners. Make sure to spray the liners if using liners.

 

Dry Ingredients:

 -1 & 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

- 1 tbsp chis seeds

- a generous sprinkle of cinnamon, I usually go with a tsp. 

-1 & 1/2 tsp baking powder 

-pinch of salt

 

Wet Ingredients:

 -1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted.

- 2 eggs

-3 & 1/4 cups brown sugar ( I used Truvia but regular ol' brown sugar, preferably light, is fine too) 

-dash of vanilla extract

-1/3 cup milk  (I used skim and just sort of eye balled it)

- 1-2 cups of fresh blueberries

 

Directions:

1. Combine the dry ingredients together on a medium bowl.

2. Combine the sugar and melted butter together in a different bowl.

3. Add the vanilla and stir.

4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mix well.

5. Add the butter mixture to the dry ingredient bowl and stir well until combined.

6. Add the milk.

7. Mix everything together until combined well. 

8. Fold in the blueberries.

* optional: add a little more cinnamon on top of your muffins before placing in the oven.

*Allow to cool a few minutes. Can be eaten warm or room temp.

* These freeze well- at least 6 months! Take one, wrap in a paper towel, microwave one minute. Pure joy!
