Sweetness and tartness, healthy and decadent, blueberry muffins with strudel topping have it all and are sure to please.

I’ve been in a baking mood this month and decided to make some muffins. I chose to make blueberry muffins because I love blueberries and they seem to me to be the perfect spring berry. Blueberries are considered a super food and are full of antioxidants and vitamins. I try to eat them regularly, either plain, or in jams or in baked goods or topping a salad. So much goodness and so delicious as well!

Blueberry muffin are amazing because they are both tart and sweet and have added nutritional benefits. Topping them with a strudel makes them even more special. You can leave the topping off too if you want a healthier, lower sugar muffin.

Easy to make muffin

I have made these muffins both with regular all purpose flour, wholewheat flour and gluten free flour. They all turned out perfectly. The gluten free muffins don’t rise as high but they are as light and flavourful as the gluten flour muffins.

The recipe is very simple. Just combine the dry ingredients. Then add the blueberries and stir them gently until well covered in flour. This will keep them from sinking while baking.

Next you add the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Its okay if the batter is lumpy. You really need to not over stir them. That creates hard muffins. The muffins are then baked and let cool on a rack. So easy and so delicious!

These muffins are healthy and yummy, and my new go to muffin recipe. They are great at anytime, with tea for an afternoon break or as a fast and easy breakfast with some fruit. Enjoy
