5 from 3 votes
This is one of the best, somewhat healthy, blueberry muffin recipes I have made. Every time I make them I get a comment on how they look like bakery muffins! Choose to add the struesel topping, or opt out for an even healthier muffin.

  • Add your whole blueberries (or mashed - see notes) and fold until the blueberries are swirled into the batter.
