Easy (& Healthy) Blueberry Muffin Recipe with Spelt Flour

Blueberry Spelt Muffin Recipe

My kids LOVE muffins, and I love that they are an easy and healthy breakfast (or snack.) I made this recipe almost entirely organic.  I already had Baking Powder, Salt and Vanilla Extract, so I wanted to use some items I already had on hand.  I used frozen blueberries because I was able to get an awesome deal on organic blueberries last month, so I froze a ton of them for smoothies and baking.  Freezing fruit in season is a great way to eat healthy while on a budget!

This is the first time I’ve cooked with Spelt Flour and I’m hooked.  I love the added benefits such as being high in fiber. The flavor is amazing and my kids (nor husband) even noticed the difference.  They just kept asking for more!

Blueberry Muffins Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 4 Tbsp (1/2 stick) softened butter
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups spelt flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. Butter muffin tin or line with paper muffin liners.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar.
  4. Stir in applesauce, eggs, water and vanilla.
  5. Mix in flour, baking powder, and salt.Blueberry Muffin Mix
  6. Gently stir in blueberries.
  7. Spoon batter into muffin cup to about 3/4 full.
  8. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 25-30 minutes.

It’s all about the berries at Whole Foods right now.  Next to picking straight from the farm, Whole Foods definitely has some of the tastiest berries around!  I should know, I’ve been to just about every local store trying to find the BEST strawberries.

Whole Foods challenged me to come up with healthy and easy berry recipes.  This is a perfect challenge for me since I LOVE incorporating fresh berries into our Menu Plan during the summer.

Berry Flag

I created a Berry Flag that will be perfect for your 4th of July celebration.  I actually served this for my little man’s birthday party, so you could use this recipe or something similar for just about any occasion.  All the kids devoured the fruit – kids will eat just about anything on a stick!

Protein-Berry-Smoothie-753x1024

I also made a Berry Smoothie with kale that is perfect for hot summer days.  Smoothies are full of nutrients and fill you up without a bunch of extra calories.

Blueberry Spelt Muffin Recipe

Looking for Recipes for Blueberry Muffins?  I made amazing Blueberry Muffins with Spelt Flour that you should checkout!  They are super easy and healthy – perfect for breakfast or a snack

I still need to make Vanilla cupcakes with strawberry buttercream icing.  YUMMY!

At the end of the week I’ll post a round-up of my berry creations, so you can find ideas to take advantage of berry season in Hampton Roads.
