Light, fluffy, subtly sweet, cinnamon spiced, bakery style, blueberry muffins = the perfect way to make your day just a little bit sweeter!
They’re like the classic bakery style blueberry muffins we know and love but with a secretly healthy twist.
Made with no refined flours or sugars using just a handful of ingredients that I bet you have on hand already and can be ready to devour in less than 30 minutes!
Perfect with your morning coffee (or green tea, matcha, golden mylk or chai)
The perfect addition to your WFH (WFH = working from home) lunch box
The perfect mid morning/ late afternoon / pre/post-workout pick me up
Perfect for a little post dinner not-so sweet treat!
They are subtly sweet, soft and tender with the most beautiful texture and the perfect heart and belly warming hum of cinnamon!
I don’t know what it is about cinnamon, but something about it just soothes me down to the depths of my soul!
Hear me when I say, what they may lack in the looks department (although those slightly crispy, gnarly looking tops are my absolute fave) they totally make up for on the flavor front!
Serve them simply as they are, warm, cold, it’s all good! Slather them with butter – regular or coconut, drizzle with maple syrup (or dark chocolate!!!) , pop them in your yoghurt bowl . . .
Or, if you’re feeling a little extra and want to take the experience to a whole new level then you might want to go ahead and slather on some frosting.
Super simple, secretly healthy, one bowl and packed with protein! It’s kind of like a pimped up, protein packed, sugar free cream cheese frosting and it’s simply, divine!
I mean, can you even . . .
look at that delicious little cloud!
So not necessary but so, SO worth the extra 2 minutes to mix and slather . . .
But, however you choose to do it, you really can’t go wrong!
All natural, quick and easy, subtly sweet, soft and tender, perfectly spiced, light, fluffy, flourless, bakery style blueberry muffins with the creamiest, dreamiest cream cheese frosting!
