The problem with most blueberry muffin recipes is that they are high in cholesterol. This can be a problem for people who are trying to lower their cholesterol levels or who have heart disease. However, there are a number of ways to make blueberry muffins that are low in cholesterol without sacrificing any of the flavor.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Use vegetable oil spray to grease 12-cup muffin tin. Set aside.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Lightly spray muffin tin with non-stick spray (I've found that paper muffin holders do not peel away from these muffins easily).
- Wash and drain blueberries. Set aside. If using frozen blueberries, thaw before using.
- In large bowl, sift flour. Add baking powder and the 1/3 cup Splenda. Mix together.
- In another bowl, mix the Egg Beater egg substitute, apple sauce and milk.
- Combine the wet mixture into the flour mixture. Stir just enough to blend (electric mixers aren't really necessary). Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Pour batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full. Use the last tablespoon of Splenda to sprinkle on top of each muffin (this adds zero calories and has zero fat) and bake for 17 minutes, or until tops are light brown.
- After baking, allow muffins to cool before removing them from the tin. Please note: 1 serving = 1 muffin. Enjoy!

I just made this recipe with some frozen blueberries and we all really liked it - even my boys who don't like blueberries. It comes from a church cookbook but I have changed it to suit my tastes. You could really substitute any fruit you wanted - it's a very versatile recipe.

LOW-FAT HIGH FIBER BLUEBERRY BRAN MUFFINS
