Arctic Garden's Blueberry Muffins

Studentchef's Note:

This recipe comes from the box of Arctic Garden's frozen blueberries, and I thought this would be nice to share. For variation add 1 grated orange rind, or substitute raspberries for the blueberries.

3. In a small bowl combine egg, applesauce, orange juice, vegetable oil and maple syrup.

These were really tasty healthy muffins. I followed the recipe but only used about 6 oz of blueberries (which was more than enough), canola oil and strawberry-banana-orange juice. I really like that there was no white flour or white sugar in this recipe, but they were plenty sweet from maple syrup and blueberries. Oh...and I filled the tins pretty close to full and got 13 muffins. Bake time was right on.

Wonderful! The only problem was that I didn't have orange juice, so I just used water. They were flavorful and hearty. Thank you for a good alternative to the usual. I will make these often, and walk out the door feeling like I just ate breakfast, rather than dessert!

Mmmmm these muffins are so moist and delicious. I really love the addition of maple syrup...gave it a lovely aroma while baking and and an even lovelier flavor. I used Wegman's brand blueberries which are really plump...I'm not sure if I ended up using more blueberries than the recipe called for, but there was definitely enough muffin batter to fill the muffins all the way (not 2/3). They came out of the oven perfectly though. Thanks Studentchef! I think that I might try the suggested variation with raspberries and some grated orange rind!
