Amazing Healthy Blueberry MuffinsIngredients (use vegan versions): 2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup sugar substitute, such as xylitol
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup apple sauce
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup water
1 cup frozen blueberries
Directions:Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Combine all dry ingredients. Gently stir in wet ingredients. Fill muffin tins and bake 20-25 minutes.
Note: I developed this recipe by adapting Sheilas recipe for whole wheat muffins - a GREAT basic muffin recipe.
Serves: 12
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Very good. Did use all sugar howe'ver. This made 9 yummy muffins... not sure how one would get 12 full size out of this. The 9 went VERy fast...

I adjusted the recipe: Instead of 1/2 cup total sugar, I used just a little under 1/4 cup of brown cane sugar, substituted soybean oil for the canola, upped the apple sauce to 1/2 cup (since I cut back on the sugar), substituted vanilla extract for the almond extract, and instead of 1 cup water, I used 3/4 cup plain soy milk and 1/4 cup water and added walnuts in addition to the blueberries. It came out very moist and very good. Dont know if the substitutions I made are vegan since I'm a newbie vegetarian :-)

These were yummy and healthier than most, but came out very moist and easily squishe'd which doesn't help for presentation. They were also a little bland- could have used a bit more sweetness. Maybe use more flower and a bit more sugar?
