Our Go-To Blueberry Muffins!

Is a blueberry muffin healthy?  While obvious answer is no, a traditional blueberry muffin is definitely not healthy, we can however make a few simple modifications to make them quite a bit healthier.

And sure I have a not-so-healthy sugar packed blueberry muffin we love and enjoy sometimes but this recipe below is something I feel better about serving my family more often.  These have actually been one of our go-to breakfasts before school for quite some time.

It's something we can take on the go, they are such a tasty morning treat, and it's so convenient that they can be made ahead.

For the kids we usually just pair them with milk and a hard boiled egg for another make ahead option (we aren't morning people and appreciate those few extra minutes of sleep). And if you like them warm you can heat in the microwave briefly.

These blueberry muffins freeze well for several months (though you'll probably have them polished off much sooner), and you don't even need a mixer to make them!

They have a soft and moist crumb, plenty of blueberry flavor, and they are sweetened just enough.

If you are looking for a smarter way to enjoy a muffin without all the refined sugars and unhealthy fats I highly recommend trying these. You may likely agree muffins can still be delicious without all that extra stuff.

In its first stages, the dessert is believed to have been made out of honey and mashed yeast or barley. During the 12th century, it was developed into a dessert similar to what we make today thanks to bakers in Italy. Soon, it was adopted by the Jewish culture and quickly became a custom surrounding the study of the Torah .  Over time, the cake has been incorporated into a wide variety of cultures across the globe and can be found in many different variations.

It's made with a tender, flaky blind baked pie crust , a thick and perfectly chocolatey custard pudding filling, then it's mounded high with billowy whipped cream and garnished with thin and curly chocolate shavings.

Upgraded Old Fashioned Chocolate Cream Pie This is one of the dreamiest pies with its trio of layering, its silky smooth texture, and its abundant decadence of chocolate flavor.

Blondies

The b est Blondies recipe ! Made with sweet, vanilla flavor, they’re soft and moist in the center yet slightly crisp on the outside. Studded with gooey white chocolate chips in every bite, they’re sure to satisfy the strongest sweet tooth.  What Are Blondies?  A truly mouthwatering dessert, blondies are often confused with brownies and are even sometimes called blondie brownies. To be clear, blondies and brownies are not the same things, but they do have similar ingredients.  Both desserts are made with a base of sugar, butter, eggs, and flour. However, blondies do not contain cocoa powder, which is a key contributor to any good brownie recipe. Instead, the star of the show in blondie recipes is browned butter which is made with butter and brown sugar.   As a result, blondies have a rich, indulgent flavor and a soft, slightly chewy texture. They’re typically baked into bars and often contain a variety of different mix-ins. You’ll find white chocolate chips and walnuts in this ea
