Concerned that your kids are eating too much pastry? This blueberry muffin with chia recipe is a great way to whip up a quick and healthy afternoon snack without all the guilt. All you will need are:
- 1 cup of fresh blueberries (frozen will also do fine)
- ¼ cup of honey
- ½ cup of yogurt – you may use blueberry or vanilla flavor if you like
- ¼ cup of oil
- 1 egg
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tsps of baking powder
- 1 and a half cups of whole wheat flour
- 3 tbsp chia seeds
Once all the ingredients are in place, preheat the oven to 375F. Grease 2 muffin tins or use paper muffin cups to hold and mold the dough together.
Using separate mixing bowls, mix all the dry ingredients together as well as the wet ingredients. Once these have blended together, separately, you may pour the dry ingredients over the wet ingredients, while leaving about a tablespoon of dry ingredients behind. The leftover dry mixture will be used to coat the blueberries.
Only stir up to a good blending of the mixture. Getting everything overly-mixed will cause the consistency to fail when put inside the oven.
Remember the blueberries that need to be coated? Coat the blueberries well and fold them into the muffin batter. Once done, you can start filling in your muffin tins and put them in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the muffins get a nice brown color.
