Fast forward a few years. I decide to clean up what we are eating and start experimenting with baking and using "healthier" ingredients. The first batch of "healthy" blueberry muffins were great!!....or so I thought. I took them on a family trip for a quick breakfast and let's just say not everyone thought they were as "great" as I did ;).
SO I kept trying and using different recipes and working with new ingredients and let me just say, THIS IS THE BEST RECIPE I have used in the last 5+ years of experimenting!! Moist, delicious, and CLEAN! The boys GOBBLED them up and I only have 6 left to freeze. I'll take that as a compliment!
