Flax Blueberry Muffins

If you want an amazing healthy start in your day, a healthy snack, or a quick breakfast on the go, try these babies, and they are sure to get you movin!!:) I make a batch and eat about two a day till they're gone. They are yummy and guilt-free healthy!! I got this recipe from Beachbody's Thin Kitchen book, but I've modified it a little of course:) If you have a Beachbody Club membership you should have this recipe book. By the way I swear one week I made these and  lost 3 pounds which was at a time when I had been slowing down on my weight loss, so these are great!

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

Shredded apples

Chopped dates

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!!
One Muffin is about 140 calories, 2.5g Fat, 28g carbs, 4g fiber, 4g protein. I eat two muffins with a glass of milk and that is a perfect small meal for me!

Wet and dry bowls

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!!
