Healthy Blueberry Lemon Muffin Recipe
My daughter has fallen in love with blueberry muffins and has been bugging me to make some for weeks. She’s not a fan of sugar and the problem with most muffins is that they usually taste like cake. So I came up with a healthy blueberry lemon muffin recipe that is super moist with just the right of sweetness!
My secret ingredients—agave and greek yogurt! The agave adds a hint of sweet while the yogurt makes the muffins nice and moist. I added the lemon because I love the tart/sweet combination of blueberries and lemons. The end result is a delicious guilt-free muffin you can enjoy for breakfast or a snack!
