Olive Oil Blueberry Muffins #BreadBakers

These healthier muffins, made with a mixture of whole wheat and white flour, are sweetened with very little sugar and lots of blueberries, high in antioxidants.  Moistened with low-fat milk and heart-healthy olive oil, these muffins are the perfect start to your day and your New Year.

It's time for the 2024 edition of Bread Bakers......

When Stacy of Food Lust People Love asked us if we wanted to continue Bread Bakers this year the answer was a resounding YES.  She is kicking off the year with Mediterranean Breads.

Let's see what everyone baked up for this first event of the year......

• Bazlama from Magical Ingredients
• Cheese Fatayer from Sneha's Recipe
• Egyptian Mahlab Bread from Food Lust People Love
• Halloumi Cheese, Olive, and Mint Bread from Cook with Renu
• Ka'ak Asfar from Karen's Kitchen Stories
• Olive Oil Blueberry Muffins from A Day in the Life on the Farm
• Pita from Passion Kneaded
• Sourdough Man'oushe (Za'atar Flatbread) from Zesty South Indian Kitchen
• Vasilopita from A Messy Kitchen
• Scones with Za'atar and Feta from Palatable Pastime

Now I know what you are thinking.  Why, with all the delicious choices available to me with this topic, would I choose to make muffins?  Fair Question.

On the day that Stacy announced the theme for today's event, my husband informed me that he had scheduled a CPL class.   I always provide a light breakfast and lunch for the students who are in the class, so I did a Google search for Meditteranean Muffins and up popped this recipe from Meditteranean Living.

I had all the ingredients on hand.  They were heart-healthy and low-fat to start off the New Year after all the excess of the Holiday season.  All I needed to do was throw together a quick Apple and Grape Salad with a Honey Yogurt Dressing and I was ready for the students to arrive.  I'll be sharing that Apple and Grape Salad with you in an upcoming post so stay tuned.

I have adapted the recipe by cutting the ingredients in half.  The original recipe provided for 24 Muffins.
