About Blueberry muffins

Blueberry muffins are a popular baked good originating from Western cuisine. These muffins combine a tender batter made from flour, eggs, milk, and sugar, with fresh or frozen blueberries for a sweet yet tangy flavor. Blueberries not only enhance their taste but also add nutritional value. Depending on the recipe, a standard blueberry muffin provides carbohydrates for energy and small amounts of protein and fat. Blueberries are rich in antioxidants like vitamin C and polyphenols, which support overall health. While muffins generally contain sugar and refined flour, substitutions like whole-wheat flour or low-fat dairy can make them more nutrient-dense.
