These recipes typically use ingredients like whole wheat flour, oat bran, and natural sweeteners to reduce the amount of fat and calories without sacrificing flavor.

I found this recipe online a long time ago and have tweeked it over time to perfection. Low calorie, low fat, tasty muffins. These freeze very well also! We eat them for breakfast everyday. I double the recipe and freeze and then put them in the microwave for about 30 seconds. I also use 50/50 flour instead of 2 different ones.

Tips:
- Fresh or frozen blueberries: Either fresh or frozen blueberries can be used in this recipe, depending on what you have available. If using frozen blueberries, thaw them before adding them to the batter.
- Sweetener: The recipe calls for 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, but you can adjust this to taste. If you like your muffins sweeter, add more sugar. You can also substitute other sweeteners, such as honey or maple syrup.
- Whole wheat flour: The recipe calls for whole wheat flour, which is a good source of fiber. If you don't have whole wheat flour, you can use all-purpose flour instead.
- Muffin liners: Muffin liners are not necessary, but they will help to keep your muffins from sticking to the pan. If you don't have muffin liners, you can grease the muffin pan with cooking spray.
- Cooking time: The muffins should be baked for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
