Homemade Blueberry Muffins

Ditch your local coffee shop blueberry muffins for a warm batch of homemade muffins!

Many of us are still at the peek of blueberry picking season, making this recipe a must have! Why not spend a few hours outside, picking blueberries that you can later use to create a delicious and healthy treat!

Spending time walking around among trees, flowers, and overall nature while snacking on fresh blueberries lowers blood pressure and reduces the stress -related hormones cortisol and adrenaline.

Fresh picked fruit is often at its peek in flavor, making it easy to eat right away. Blueberries are a great choice in fruit to opt for picking, because they are a nutritional powerhouse.

Blueberries are rich in antioxidants; they are also shown to help with inflammation, weight-loss, acne, skin issues, increase heart health, and boost the brain by improving focus and memory!

Once you try these muffins, you will never want to try another blueberry muffin recipe again – they are so delicious and simple, they are instant family favorites!

My boys love our homemade muffins. They eat them paired with yogurt for breakfast or a little snack mid morning or after dinner! Not only is this ditch and switch a money saver, but they are healthy; since I can control the ingredients.
