Notes

Leftovers, if there are any, keep nicely in the fridge or freezer.

You can easily substitute raspberries or cranberries for blueberries for a different flavored muffin. If adventurous, try seedless raisins, chopped nuts, or chocolate chips, not for weight loss. Although the resulting muffins from an experiment woud not always be recommended for a weight loss diet, they would still be a good source of fiber.
