Introduction

A double-dose of blueberries (frozen and dried) gives these muffins extra flavor, and whole-wheat flour adds fiber. At just 125 calories each, these blueberry muffins make a not-too-guilty treat to start your day.

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup white whole wheat flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup lowfat buttermilk
1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 cup frozen blueberries (see Tips)
1/4 cup dried blueberries

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place paper muffin liners in a 12-muffin baking pan.

In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, table salt and cinnamon. In a smaller bowl, whisk to combine buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg and vanilla. Using a rubber spatula, slowly and gently fold the liquid ingredients into the flour mixture, carefully stirring the batter so there are no clumps of flour, about 10 strokes. Batter will be thick and not completely smooth. In a small bowl, toss the frozen and dried blueberries with a pinch of flour, and add them to the batter, folding them in gently.

Use an ice cream scoop to divide batter among 12 muffin cups; cups will be nearly full. Sprinkle tops of muffins with coarse sugar if desired. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Remove pan from oven and let cool slightly.
