Excellent treat
I have made this a couple of times and the family loves it. A family member now has type 2 diabetes but won’t stop eating store bought blueberry muffins. So today I tried something different. I made this with whole grain flour (ground in my vitamix dry container a mix of wheat berries and kamut). Used almond milk instead of skim milk and monk fruit sweetener instead of sugar (this is safe for diabetics). To top it off I didn’t have a muffin pan so I used a bunt cake pan. Increased the bake time to 30 minutes. Love it.

this recipe is the best. Make sure you put water in one of the muffin tin holders, this gives it a nice dome
