There is nothing better than a cake to enjoy with a cuppa, and these moist delicious Blueberry Muffins are the perfect treat.
Sometimes it can be hard to make a decent cupcake or muffin, as usually, those kinds of treats combine ingredients that are packed with fats.
I'm constantly testing ratio of ingredients and combinations to bring you the best tasting Slimming recipes. To me, it's not important to just create a recipe, for me it and my family it has to pass the taste test too, otherwise, it doesn't go on the blog. So if I feel a recipe needs a few bad ingredients to make it like proper cake, then you can rest assured I will add them to bring you a delicious tasting cake, rather than a virtually no fat cake that tastes unpleasant.
Yes, we all love fat free and virtually low fat recipes, but sometimes if you want something that tastes good, especially when it comes to cake, you have to be prepared to sacrifice a few things.
I actually had to make these blueberry muffins a few times before I even got a chance to take a picture of them for the blog, mainly because I should know not to bake items close to when the kids get in from school
Are you picturing the scenario? A nice fresh tray of blueberry muffins out of the oven and the kitchen filled with that delicious aroma of cinnamon and cake!! Am I going to get those placed to photograph before little hands are grabbing them and devouring right before my eyes? Not a chance!!!
The good thing about them being devoured so quickly is that I know they tasted good. In fact, they are delicious!!
A moist muffin with juicy sweet blueberries topped with a delicious cinnamon streusel topping - all for just ? What more can one ask for?
These blueberry muffins are perfect served with a nice cup of tea or coffee and if you want a real treat, they go that little bit further with some additional fresh blueberries on the side and some yoghurt of your choice or a little light cream .
Whenever I make baked goods, I tend to use sukrin which is a natural based sweetener. It's my favourite one to use because it's the closest in taste to real sugar. It has no aftertaste like some sweeteners can have. Feel free to use another sweetener of your choice, but just be aware that the taste may differ.
I do however use regular sugar for the streusel topping. There are times when a little real sugar is needed and this is one of those times.
What Kitchen Items do I need to make these low blueberry muffins?

Yum! This is my dad's favorite breakfast food. I love the addition of yogurt in your recipe.
Kirsty Hilton says
what brand of yoghurt did you use? mullerlight or something else?

I used a brand we get here in Canada. You can use any fat free vanilla yoghurt (which is free in syns)
Lynne preece says
What size muffin cases did you use please
Shevy (Slimming Eats) says
Hi Lynne, they were just standard size muffin cases 🙂
Sky says
Does it still work if you use wheat free flour
Shevy (Slimming Eats) says
I'm not sure, the ratio would have to be adjusted I think.
Rebecca says

Hey! Is it okay to use fat free Greek yoghurt? It’s the only one I have in the fridge! Thank you
Siobhan (Slimming Eats) says
you might need to loosen the mix with some milk.
Patricia Marinho says
105 cal is only 3.5 syns, thought it was 5 syns?
Siobhan (Slimming Eats) says
Nutritional info is for those following a calorie controlled diet not for those following Slimming World as there are free foods included in those calories. 3.5 syns per muffin is correct.
Sue says
Hi I have made these again & again they are really lovely. Can I use chocolate chips for a change. If so would it change the syn value?
Jackie says
Thank you for the recipe. I made these and they are delicious. Well worth 3.5syns.
Mine stuck to the muffin cases. Any tips to stop this happening? I did use the fry light spray.
Siobhan (Slimming Eats) says
I find that happens with certain muffins cases, not sure if it's the type of baking paper used. I tend to buy unbleached parchment paper now and cut squares big enough to fit in a muffin tray hole, screw them up into a ball and push into the muffin tray to line. Works perfectly and nothing sticks.
Sarah says
Hi
Can frozen blueberries be used?
They do look so yummy!
Siobhan (Slimming Eats) says
They should be okay, yes 🙂
