Berry Bliss: Easy and Delicious Blueberry Muffin Recipe

Who would have thought that everyone’s favorite breakfast treat, the blueberry muffin, has such a fascinating and illustrious history?

Muffins may date back to the 10th or 11th century in Wales and were brought from the UK to the Americas in the 19th century as bilberry muffins. The bilberries were substituted for blueberries which were abundant in the Americas, and that was how blueberry muffins were born.

Today, blueberry muffins are a favorite at breakfast or as a snack in between meals. Plus, they’re almost guilt-free. Blueberries, whether fresh or frozen, are one of the healthiest fruits on earth, filled with nutrients and low in calories. They can help protect against aging, cancer, and damage to the DNA while maintaining brain function and improving memory.

Is Blueberry Muffin A Healthy Breakfast?

Blueberries in general are extremely healthy. One cup or 148 grams of blueberries contains 3.6 grams of fiber, 16% of the daily value of vitamin C, 24% of the daily value of vitamin K, 22% of the daily value of manganese, 84 calories, and 21.5 grams of carbohydrates. They are also high in antioxidants and can help to lower blood pressure & prevent heart disease. 

You can make your own blueberry muffins at home to ensure a healthy baked treat. Let’s take a look.

How Do You Make Muffins Moist & Not Dry?
