Since LilS was born, I have been more mindful of use of refined sugar and flour in my baked goods. ![healthy blueberry muffins recipe](https://www.cookingandme.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/healthy-blueberry-muffins.png) I have been trying and loving recipes from [Cookie and Kate](https://cookieandkate.com) recently and this healthy blueberry muffin recipe is adapted from hers too. So what makes these muffins healthy? Or rather, healthier? - They are refined sugar free- They use whole wheat flour (like atta or spelt flour)- Blueberries add a lovely colour and tang naturally- You can adjust sweetness levels without compromising flavour or texture- They are a great way to get some yogurt into your child, especially if they don't like to eat it plain I have used atta (Indian whole wheat flour) and [spelt flour](https://amzn.to/2RT8Y5d) with equal success. You can also use a mix of all purpose flour and a healthier flour if you are worried about texture or a beginner baker.

May I also recommend [this AMAZING mini muffin pan](https://amzn.to/2U12Zc7) that I am now using? It needs no greasing and the muffins pop out of it so smoothly when baked. I am in love and have used it numerous times already. Well worth the price and clean up is super quick too. *Fan Girl* ## Healthy Blueberry Muffins Recipe ![](https://www.cookingandme.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/healthy-blueberry-muffins-150x150.png) Healthy blueberry muffins recipe using no refined flour or sugar. Perfect to make as a toddler snack. - 1 and 3/4 cup atta or spelt flour- 1 tsp baking powder- 1/2 tsp baking soda- A pinch of salt- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil (I have used regular olive oil and veg oil with success)- 1/3 cup honey (can be increased to 1/2 cup)- 2 eggs- 1 cup plain yogurt (Greek yogurt works better)- 1 tsp vanilla extract- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen) - Pre-heat oven to 350 F / 180 C. Line or grease your muffin pan as needed. I used my mini muffin pan- In a bowl, combine the flour with the baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix them together with a whisk until well combined. You can also sift this mixture but who has time for things like that anymore? Not me!- In a separate bowl, add the oil and honey and beat together with a whisk.- Add the eggs and beat well, then add the yogurt and vanilla. Mix everything well together- Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold with a silicon spatula or wide spoon. Do not be tempted to over mix at this stage, just combine everything as gently as you can- The batter is a bit tick so I use a spoon to pour into the muffin pan. - At the end, add 1-2 blueberries per muffin and gently press into the top. I prefer doing this to adding the blueberries to the batter because that makes them sink to the bottom and become gooey on baking- Bake in the pre-heated oven for 20 minutes. Start checking from around 17 minutes and bake until the top turns golden brown and a skewer inserted into the muffin comes out with wet crumbs- Cool in the muffin pan for 10 minutes and gently invert onto a baking tray and cool completely - If you make normal sized muffins, you will get around 12 of them. In that case, add 4-5 blueberries per each muffin - This yields a mildly sweet muffin. Increase amount of honey if you want it a tad sweeter. You can also add some sugar on top of the warm muffins as soon as they come out of the oven, for a crispy outer layer - You can add some cinnamon powder for extra flavour and health kick healthy blueberry muffin, muffins for toddlers, toddler friendly snacks ### Step by Step Pictures for Making Healthy Blueberry Muffins ![](https://www.cookingandme.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/healthy-blueberry-muffins.jpg)1.
