Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 1 Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Low-fat buttermilk
- 1 cup Fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil for greasing
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a mini muffin tin with olive oil or line with mini muffin liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
In another bowl, mix together the unsweetened applesauce, honey, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Slowly add the buttermilk to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
Fill each mini muffin cup approximately three-quarters full with the batter using a spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your heart-healthy mini blueberry muffins!
