I used 1 packet ofVital Proteins collagen peptide powder to give these muffins a boost of nutrition.

It's seriously one of my FAVORITEproduct ever.

These collagen peptides are good for your health and since they have NO odor, flavor or color, your recipes won't be affected either!

Here are some TIPS for thiseasy lemon blueberry muffins (healthy recipe):

  • All ingredients MUSTbe at room temperature.
  • You need to bake these muffins at 400 degrees for the first 5 minutes and then bake at 375 degrees for another 15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Changing the temperature this way helps in making those beautiful domes on muffins that we all love in our bakery style muffins.
  • If you add a streusel topping to the top, you can make blueberry lemon streusel muffins.
  • I used a combination of lemon zest and lime zest in the muffins as well asthe glaze. You can can just use one type of zest, if you like.
  • If you want to keep these muffins "healthier," I suggest omitting the glaze. These blueberry muffins will still taste incredible without it.
  • You can use a combination of whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour, like I did or use all-purpose flour only. DO NOT use whole wheat flour only since the texture and color changes.
  • I don't recommend using frozen blueberries since they release too much juice during baking and make the muffins soggy. Use FRESH blueberries only!
  • To PREVENTblueberries from sinking to the bottom of the muffins, toss them in some flour until they are coated and then fold them into the muffin batter.
  • This batter will be thick, just like any other muffin batter. DO NOT try to thin it out by adding milk or water since that will completely change the texture of these muffins.
  • DO NOT over-mix the batter or else you will end up with tough muffins. Don't worry if there are a fewlumps in the batter.
  • Leftovers can be stored in a sealed container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Ingredients

Lemon blueberry muffins

Lemon glaze

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, whole wheat flour, collagen peptides and baking powder. Keep aside.

  • In a separate mixing bowl, add the egg, coconut oil, milk, sugar, yogurt and vanilla extract. Whisk everything together thoroughly.

  • Dump the dry mixture into this wet mixture and mix with a spatula until just combined. DO NOT over-mix!

  • Gently, fold the blueberries into this muffin batter.

  • Spray a cupcake tray with oil and use an ice cream scooper to distribute the batter into the pan. Each cavity should be about ¾ cup full.

  • Top off each muffin with a few additional blueberries.

  • Bake at 400 degrees for 5 minutes. Then, lower the temperature to 375 degrees and bake for another 15 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown.

  • Allow the muffins to cool down before removing them from the pan.

  • While they are cooling, prepare the lemon glaze. In a mixing bowl, mix together lemon juice, lemon zest and powdered sugar until you have a smooth and thick mixture.

  • Pour a bit of this glaze on top of each muffin and enjoy!

    What if you can't find collagen, can you take it out completely?

    Reply

    • Abeer Rizvi

      Yes, absolutely. It's added to give these muffins a boost of nutrition but can easily be omitted without affecting the muffins.
