If you are like me and have breakfast on the go – then this recipe is for you. Yes, you can stop at Starbucks and get a muffin and coffee, but the chances are that the muffins on there are packed with refined sugar and refined oils like palm oil, then you are really better off making a batch of these blueberry muffins.
It’s important to have breakfast and start the day on the right track.
I know that there are a lot of people who don’t eat breakfast, but if you break the night fast and give your body something healthy and nutritious, your body will thank you. Not to mention that if you have a healthy breakfast, you will set the right tone for the day!

These amazing healthy blueberries combined with a blueberry bliss tropical smoothie and you are in for a winning breakfast!
Now I used frozen blueberries because of two reasons:
1. They are cheap
2. They color the muffins beautifully with their dark blue color!
3. They are just as healthy as fresh blueberries!
Also, I found that using chunky blueberries doesn’t work that well, because they ‘bleed’ too much inside and make them a bit too moist, so when I did another batch I used a lot smaller blueberries or simply chopped up the chunky ones!
Obviously, if you are using fresh blueberries, they won’t bleed as much, but make sure you dice them up a bit if they are too big.

- ¼ cup/ 55g of coconut sugar or light brown soft sugar
- 2 tbps of flaxseeds
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

- Preheat the oven to 350°F/180C. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with muffin liners.
- Mix together the 2 tablespoons of ground flax + 5 tablespoons water, whisk together, set for 15 mins if you have whole linseeds, simply blend them in a high-speed blender until finely ground and there you have it - flaxseed!
