MICROWAVE *ANY-BERRY MUFFINS<\/span><\/strong><\/span>
\n
\nTotal time: 12 mins. SERVES: 8<\/span><\/p>\n

You will love these light, fluffy muffins!!<\/span>
\nWhat a surprise! I’m always making banana muffins
\nbecause I don’t need to add sugar to them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, I hit a morning where I was short of time and<\/span>
\nwe were out of muffins. “Out of Stock” is so rare for<\/span>
\nme. We both like to eat a muffin for breakfast, not<\/span>
\njust because we love eating cake for breakfast, but<\/span>
\nto ensure getting nutrition and fiber and berries.<\/span><\/p>\n


\nI knew from my fluffy, tasty microwave challah rolls,
\nand <\/span>microwave chocolate cake recipes, that baked
\ngoods can shock you and come out <\/span>light and fluffy
\nfrom the microwave.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Well, these muffins are the best yet!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My husband said, “switch to these permanently.” But they
\ndon’t stay moist as long (packed in the fridge) as did my
\nheavier-banana-based muffins. So I suggest using some
\nbrown overripe banana in them in place of a sweetener.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nYou won’t taste the banana. If you do detect it, use a less
\nripe <\/span>banana. (Add 2 or 3 tbs. of coconut sugar or honey if
\nthese are <\/span>not sweet enough for you). Some blueberries
\nare sweeter <\/span>than others. So they’ll affect the sweetness.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

DRY INGREDIENTS
\n<\/span><\/strong>1 cup gluten free oat or almond flour<\/span>
\n1\/2 cup tapioca<\/span>
\n1 tsp. baking powder<\/span>
\n1\u20442 tsp. baking soda
\n1\u20442 tsp. salt
\n1\u20442 tsp. xanthan or guar gum
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 (or 1 tsp ground flax or chia seed)\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

WET Ingredients<\/span>
\n1 large egg (substitute not recommended)<\/span>
\n1\/4 cup coconut oil<\/span>
\n1\u20443 to 1\u20442 cup banana or date puree or (honey or maple syrup)\u00a0<\/span>
\n1\u20443 cup almond milk or any plant based milk
\n2 tbs. lemon juice or cider vinegar<\/span>
\n1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (raspberries, etc.)
\n*(or chocolate chips, chopped nuts or dried fruit)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n


\n<\/strong>\"\"
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

DIRECTIONS<\/span>
\nCombine the flour, baking soda, baking powder <\/span>
\nand salt in a bowl.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mix the honey and coconut oil together.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stir in the milk and lemon juice and egg. Combine
\nthe wet <\/span>ingredient and the dry ingredients and mix
\na little. Add <\/span>the blueberries and mix gently until no
\nwhite streaks of <\/span>flour remain.<\/span><\/p>\n

Coat a microwave-safe silicone muffin tin or 6 Pyrex<\/span>
\n1-cup custard cups or ramekins with nonstick cooking spray.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Fill cups half-<\/span>full of batter.<\/span><\/p>\n

Microwave five or six at a time for about 2-1\/2 minutes
\nfor an 1100-watt microwave.<\/span><\/p>\n

I found that 3 minutes+10 seconds was precise for 4<\/span>
\nmuffins in my silicone mold, (but I overfilled the muffin cups).
\nMy batter would have made 10 instead of 8 if half-filled,
\nand my<\/strong> microwave is only 1000-watts.
\n<\/span>
\n(Start checking them at about 21\/2 minutes.) When they
\nlook <\/span>set, they’re done. Do not overcook.<\/span>
\n
\nLet stand 3 to 5 minutes to firm up. Remove from cups.<\/span><\/p>\n

*Health Benefits of Blueberries<\/span><\/strong>
\nBlueberries contain folate, vitamin A, calcium, phosphorus, <\/span>
\nmagnesium, beta-carotene, vitamin E, and manganese! They\u2019re <\/span>
\nalso known for being rich with antioxidants \u2013 blueberries contain a <\/span>
\nflavonoid called anthocyanin, which give blueberries many of their <\/span>
\nhealth benefits as well as their signature color. Because blueberries <\/span>
\nfreeze so well, it\u2019s easy to enjoy this fantastic fruit year-round.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Muscle recovery blueberries can increase the rate of muscle <\/span>
\nstrength recovery and muscle repair.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. They can reduce inflammation and protect against the<\/span>
\nartery hardening that raises the risk of heart attack and strokes.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Fighting urinary tract infections, Blueberries have the same <\/span>
\nanti-adhesives anti-adhesives in cranberry juice that prevent <\/span>
\nbacteria from infecting the bladder.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Damaged DNA also contributes to the growth of cancer, The <\/span>
\nhigh levels of antioxidants in blueberries neutralize some of <\/span>
\nthe free radicals that can damage DNA.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Several minerals and vitamins that contribute to <\/span>bone health,
\nlike iron, phosphorous, calcium, zinc, and vitamin K, which<\/span>
\nimproves calcium absorption are found in Blueberries. Low
\nvitamin K levels have been linked <\/span>risk of bone fracture.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

6. These phytochemicals help blood flow and the regulation of blood <\/span>
\npressure Research indicates blueberries may prevent hypertension.<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Blueberries can improve insulin sensitivity, which lowers the risk of type <\/span>
\n2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. Research suggests blueberries <\/span>
\ncan help lower blood sugar levels as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Weight loss and healthy digestion The relatively high fiber content of <\/span>
\nblueberries can help prevent constipation and maintain a regular digestive <\/span>
\nsystem. Adequate fiber in your diet can help you achieve a full feeling, <\/span>
\nreduce overall caloric intake, and assist in weight-loss efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Skin damage prevention Collagen, which relies on vitamin C to function <\/span>
\ncorrectly, is what makes the skin elastic and prevents skin damage from <\/span>
\nthe sun\u2019s UV rays and environmental pollution. One serving of blueberries <\/span>
\ncontains nearly a quarter of the recommended daily value of vitamin C.<\/span><\/p>\n

10. Improved brain function A 2019 study investigated the relationship between <\/span>
\nblueberry consumption and cognitive abilities. It found blueberries can \u201cimprove <\/span>
\ndelayed memory and cognitive function in children, healthy older adults, and adults <\/span>
\nwith some cognitive impairment.Blueberries also improve short-term memory.<\/span><\/p>\n

The nutritional rundown<\/span>
\nA serving size of blueberries is one cup, which is 148 grams, or <\/span>
\nanywhere from 65 to 75 berries. According to the USDA, based <\/span>
\non a 2,000-calorie diet, one serving of blueberries contains:<\/span>
