Did you know that blueberry muffins have been around since the 18th century? It all started in England. In 1988, the state of Minnesota declared it as their official muffin. That right there proves how popular this treat is.

While it is true that you can purchase blueberry muffins everywhere, it is still highly recommended that you make your own version at home.

They support brain health and improve memory too. These are only a few of the endless benefits of eating blueberries. So to make your muffins a lot better, add more blueberries.

Like what we have mentioned above, there are various tricks to make your blueberry muffins healthier. Take a look at the following:

• Add blueberries as much as you want since this is the star of the recipe, and this is where most of the nutrients are coming from.
• Instead of using refined all-purpose flour, go for whole-wheat pastry flour.
• Reduce the sugar from 1/2 to 1/3 cup.
• Replace the regular oil with olive oil. This will actually give your muffins a rich moistness.

Storage Tips

If you intend to make a huge batch, no worries, you don’t have to consume them all in just one day. You can store them in a resealable bag or an airtight container.

Can you freeze them? Yes, you can! But do not put them in the freezer directly from the oven. You have to give them enough time to cool.

Freezing muffins can extend their longevity for up to 6 months. That is if you don’t finish them in just a day or two! 🙂

If you decide to freeze your blueberry muffins, you can pull out one or two at a time and simply heat them in the microwave. You eat them with a cup of coffee 🙂
