Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. If necessary, grease all 12 cups on your muffin tin with butter, coconut oil or cooking spray (my pan is non-stick and doesn't require any grease).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 3/4 cups of the flour with the baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Mix them together with a whisk.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the oil and honey or maple syrup and beat together with a whisk. Add the eggs and beat well, then add the yogurt and vanilla. Mix well. (If the coconut oil solidifies in contact with cold ingredients, gently warm the mixture in the microwave in 30 second bursts.)
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix with a big spoon, just until combined (a few lumps are ok). In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with the remaining 1 teaspoon flour (this helps prevent the blueberries from sinking to the bottom). Gently fold the blueberries into the batter. The mixture will be thick, but don't worry.
- Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin cups (I used an ice cream scoop with a wire level, which worked perfectly). Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with turbinado sugar. Bake the muffins for 16 to 19 minutes, or until the muffins are golden on top and a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean.
- Place the muffin tin on a cooling rack to cool. You might need to run a butter knife along the outer edge of the muffins to loosen them from the pan. If you have leftover muffins, store them, covered, at room temperature for 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Freeze leftover muffins for up to 3 months.

NO-ADDED-SUGAR BLUEBERRY MUFFINS
No granulated white stuff needed in these treats. Instead, they're made with a naturally sweet combo of applesauce and puréed ripe bananas (not to mention fresh blueberries). Just note that the muffins may look paler than others you've made before-because the batter is low in sugar and fat, they won't brown much in the oven. If you're left with extra muffins, freeze and then reheat in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds whenever you're ready to enjoy.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
- Peel the banana, break it into pieces, and add to a small food processor. Add the applesauce and pulse until completely smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the eggs and oil and pulse until well combined.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour and banana mixture. Fold in the berries. Divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups. Bake until a tester inserted into the centers comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
- Serving size: 1 muffin

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 190C/375F.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, soda, sugar and salt in a large bowl.
- Combine the eggs, oil, yogurt, and milk in another bowl or jug.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry. Stir until just combined. Fold in the blueberries. Add a tiny bit more milk if the mixture still seems too thick (the consistency of the batter can vary depending on which brand of yoghurt you use). You want the batter to be a soft dropping consistency.
- Spoon the batter into muffin cases placed in muffin pans (you can fill almost to the top). Sprinkle a little extra sugar (white or brown) over the top of the muffins, if you like, then bake for 17 to 20 minutes or until risen and golden and a skewer pushed into the centre comes out clean.
- Cool on a wire rack, then store in an air tight container.

- Sprinkle the third mix over all.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes for cake, or 15-20 minutes for cupcakes,.
- You can also use parchment to line the pan.
Tips:
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries: Fresh blueberries are best, but frozen blueberries can also be used. If using frozen blueberries, thaw them before using.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full: This will prevent the muffins from overflowing.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
- Let the muffins cool before serving: This will allow the muffins to set and make them easier to handle.
Conclusion:
These low-sugar blueberry muffins are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their moist texture, sweet blueberry flavor, and low sugar content, these muffins are sure to be a hit.
