It is so nice to have a healthy and easy breakfast to grab on the way out the door in the mornings. Especially Monday mornings.
For the last few days, we have been enjoying having these light and fluffy blueberry muffins on hand.
This recipe is made of all lightened ingredients and leaves the oil and unhealthy stereotypes muffins perceive behind. Replacing sugar with stevia, an egg with egg whites and adding unsweetened applesauce, this one is sure to satisfy your craving without affecting your waistline.
Simply grab it and go, feeling good about your choice. I know I did!

Skyler did great walking into KINDERGARTEN with a big smile on his face this morning. I, however, was a bit of a mess on our walk home. 🥹
It’s wild how fast these 5 years with him have gone … 7 since we moved to NYC and into our apartment, dreaming of the day our kids would someday go to the *awesome* school right down our block. 🏫
That day is today, and I still don’t believe it — feeling allll of the emotions and thanking God for placing us here and for being able to trust His timing through the journey. 🫶🏼 #hbshinnyc
SO proud of you, SK - you are going to rock your first year at your “big boy school” - WE LOVE YOU !! 🩵👑](https://lifeinleggings.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
I have such a weakness for blueberry muffins! I usually don’t make them since they are so high in calorie but I can’t wait to try these!
Me toooooo! I usually stay away from muffins all together, unless I make them myself. Love the taste of light and healthy 😉
I made these and the flavour was great, but they were super dry! I plan to try to make them again with 1/3 cup of apple sauce instead and 2 tablespoons of fat free sour cream.
