Three ingredients that make this a healthier blueberry muffin!

As this is a blueberry muffin, the main ingredient is antioxidant-rich blueberries. In addition, the blueberries add freshens and keep the gluten-free muffin extra moist.

The walnuts, a nutritious nut, add richness and heartiness to this blueberry muffin. Walnuts are an excellent source of Omegas-3s, and as per Healthline, regularly eating walnuts has been consistently shown to decrease cholesterol levels.

I replaced butter with heart-healthy olive oil. As per WebMD, olive oil is a healthy fat and an excellent source of beneficial plant nutrients called phytochemicals that may help fight cancer and heart disease.

In addition, WebMD says if you replace saturated and trans fats with unsaturated fats such as olive oil, you may lower your chance of getting a stroke by more than 40%.

olive oil blueberry muffin recipe – the details,

Why not replace a healthier muffin for the butter and sugar-heavy muffin you will find in most coffee shops. But even better, this olive oil muffin tastes just as delicious and is much healthier.

You will need only 10 ingredients plus salt and two bowls to make this muffin, making this an easy muffin recipe. I used almond flour and a gluten-free flour blend. For extra lightness, I added some baking powder.

The wet ingredients are simple, olive oil, eggs, vanilla, pure maple syrup and dairy-free milk.

For the flavour and texture, fresh blueberries and walnuts. The healthy muffin is this simple and, is made without refined sugar.

Start with mixing the dry ingredients. Then whisk the wet ingredients and blend the mixture into the flour. 

In the end, stir in the fresh blueberries and walnuts. Now the muffin batter is ready for baking. The prep time is less than 10 minutes.

yes Patsy, they will freeze well in an airtight container up to 2 months. I would reheat them before serving in a microwave for about 15-20 seconds once they have defrosted.

Patsy

Hi. Will these muffins freeze successfully please?

Kristina

If you use frozen berries, Mary, they will not hold their shape and become mushy. However, the recipe will still work except the texture will slightly change
