~Blueberry "Cupcakes"~



Tomorrow is the Easter Party for the Lil Surfer Girls and I signed up to make cupcakes! After all the Birthday Cake eaten over the week from their party last weekend and cupcakes for a birthday at school today, I thought how 'bout Blueberry Muffins instead! There's always an abundance of sweets at the class parties anyway so how about something with a little nutrition to go with the sweet!



Mini Blueberry Muffins
~1 Cup Whole Wheat Flour
~1 Cup Flour (Garbanzo, Almond or All Purpose)
~1/4 Cup Wheat Bran
~2 teaspoons baking powder
~1 teaspoon cinnamon
~1/2 teaspoon salt

~1/2 Cup melted butter
~2 Eggs
~1 teaspoon vanilla
~1/2 Cup 100% maple syrup
~1/2 Cup vanilla Almond Milk sweetened

Combine dry ingredients and Mix
Combine wet ingredients and slightly beat eggs
Stir into dry mix and add more almond milk to desired consistency
Stir in Blueberries...I eyeballed the amount but about a cup.

Preheat oven to 375. Fill Mini Muffin Tins about half and bake 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.




We couldn't help but sneak a taste and we all gave it a thumbs up. I think they could have been a little sweeter so maybe add some agave nectar or brown sugar if you so desire.
