Dry Ingredients:
1 1/2 C. Whole grain flour (you can use whole wheat, I use a combo of wheat, brown rice, oat groats, kamut, and spelt and grind them in my Vitamix)
3/4 C. Flaxseed meal (this is the 'fat' source, cause there is no 'oil' in these muffins!)
1/4 C. Organic Coconut Sugar (pure & unrefined)
1 tsp. Baking powder
2 tsp. Baking soda
1/2 tsp. Salt
2 tsp. Cinnamon
2 tsp. Pumpkin Pie spice
1 tsp. Ground Ginger
Wet ingredients:
2 Apples, shredded (you can use sweet fuji apples, or tart granny smith apples, whatever you want!)
3/4 C. Milk (skim or 1%)
1/4 C. Raw Honey
1/4 C. Chopped Dates (Instead of honey and dates you can use 3/4 C. Brown Sugar)
2 Eggs
1 tsp. Vanilla
1/2 C. Blueberries

| NO White sugar (X)! Instead use Coconut sugar, raw honey, and dates!:) Other healthy sugars are molasses, brown sugar, and pure maple syrup |
Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Sift dry ingredients together with a fork. Combine eggs, milk, honey, and vanilla, then fold in the dates and shredded apples (I just use a large cheese grater). Pour liquid ingredients into dry ingredients. Fold in Blueberries. Spray muffin cups with olive oil spray, then fill 3/4 full. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Should make about 22 muffins. Sometimes for my family who do not like blueberries (I know right?) I sub some muffins with chocolate chips instead of blueberries:) Dark chocolate is healthier, but this is not for the healthy option all together:) ENJOY!!

| Combine wet and dry, then divide, and add blueberries to one bowl and choc chips to the other bowl (this is how we compromise in my family:) I'm happy to put chocolate chips in them if my family will eat these!! |

| YUM and DONE!! Enjoy!! |
