\u00a0 \u00a0Wet Ingredients<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

2 tsp white or cider vinegar
\n2 tbs. milk of choice
\nlet set 5 minutes or more<\/span><\/p>\n

1\/2 cup (1-1\/2)mashed bananas, OR applesauce\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\n1\/4 cup applesauce or oil
\n1\/4 cup oil<\/span>
\n2 tsp pure vanilla extract<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 Dry Ingredients<\/strong>
\n2\/3 cup oat flour <\/span>
\n1\/3 cup Tapioca<\/span>
\n1\/4 cup coconut or raw sugar\u00a0<\/span>
\n1\/2 tsp. salt<\/span>
\n1\/2 tsp. baking soda<\/span><\/p>\n

1\/2 tsp. baking powder<\/span>
\n1\/4 tsp cinnamon<\/span><\/p>\n

Optional:<\/strong> handful raisins, crushed walnuts,
\nshredded coconut, chocolate chips, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cinnamon-sugar topping:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>
\n1\/2 cup sugar<\/span>
\n1-1\/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon<\/span>
\n3 tablespoons butter, or coconut oil melted<\/span><\/p>\n

Add butter or vegan butter or coconut oil to
\na shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, <\/span>
\ncombine sugar and cinnamon.
\nDip muffin tops in butter, <\/span>then in cinnamon-sugar.
\nServe warm.<\/span><\/p>\n

Instructions<\/strong><\/span>
\n*If you want to make mini muffins, bake only 10 minutes.
\n<\/span>
\nWhisk all liquid ingredients together. Preheat oven
\nto 350F, grease or line a muffin <\/span>tin.
\nIn a new bowl, whisk remaining dry ingredients very well.
\nPour dry into wet, and <\/span>stir until just until evenly mixed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fill each liner about 2\/3 of the way, leaving a little room because
\nthey will rise. Bake on the center rack, 20 minutes or until <\/span>muffins
\nhave domed and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin <\/span>
\ncomes out mostly clean. Let cool. (If you loosely cover overnight
\n<\/span>on the <\/span>counter or refrigerated, the liners peel off easily the next
\nday and flavor <\/span>and texture are even better.) Leftovers can be
\npoly-bagged and frozen in an airtight container if desired.<\/span><\/p>\n

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. Blueberries 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 in cranberry juice that prevent <\/span>bacteria from
\ninfecting 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. Blueberries contain several minerals and vitamins that contribute to <\/span>
\nbone health, like iron, phosphorous, calcium, zinc, and vitamin K.which<\/span>
\nimproves calcium absorption Low vitamin K levels have been linked <\/span>
\nrisk of bone fracture, as vitamin K intake .<\/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>
\nCalories: 84.4<\/span>
