Healthier Blueberry Muffins

The day before my strokes, I had just picked 20 pounds of blueberries from Bowerman’s. Half to take down to my parents the next day, and half for myself. When I finally got out of the hospital, I was more than craving those berries. So I decided to use some of them to make a ‘healthier” muffin. These were delicious and I didn’t miss the extra sugar, etc. Trust me. Your family won’t either!
