There is nothing better than a cake to enjoy with a cuppa, and these moist delicious Blueberry Muffins are the perfect treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good thing about them being devoured so quickly is that I know they tasted good. In fact, they are delicious!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A moist muffin with juicy sweet blueberries topped with a delicious cinnamon streusel topping - all for just ?  What more can one ask for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Kitchen Items do I need to make these low blueberry muffins?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
