I wanted a nice fluffy, not too sweet blueberry muffin and these sure did hit the spot! I also get asked a lot for banana free baked recipes, I know I use banana a lot in my muffin and loaf recipes as it works so well to replace other ingredients with much higher point values, but I do try to create new ones often that are banana free 🙂 These blueberry muffins are simple to make and definitely cured that “I just want a damn muffin” attitude haha, at 3 smart points each they are a nice guilt-free treat and freeze well too.

Cook time:
Total time:
Serves: 12
3 freestyle, 4SP/3PP per muffin
Ingredients
- 1¾ cup flour

- 1 egg
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 cup milk (I used 1%)
- ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
- ¼ cup non fat plain greek yogurt
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1¼ cup blueberries, I found frozen worked best as fresh blueberries can be too large and make a mess of the muffins
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and spray a 12 hole regular size muffin tin with some non stick cooking spray.
- In a bowl whisk together the egg and sugar, stir in milk, applesauce, yogurt and vanilla.
- Mix in the flour and baking powder, then slowly fold in the blueberries.
- Divide the batter over the 12 muffin cups and bake for approximately 22 minutes or until baked through.
- Let cool.. makes 12 muffins, best store in a sealed container and/or in the fridge

Do you think it would taste much different if I replaced 1/4 c sugar with 1/4 c Equate No Calorie Sweetener with Sucralose? I made this today and the taste is good to me. It reduces it to 2 SP.
Love your website & recipes, BTW. I just started WW 10 days ago and am looking for some inspiration for cooking with CANADIAN products. I dearly wish I could get some of those low point products that are available in the US 😉.
Thanks, Debra T.
Hi Debra, glad you are enjoying the recipes.. I don’t bake with sweeteners as they typically upset my stomach but if you enjoy them then I’d say go for it, I imagine they will work just fine .. I don’t use too many products from the U.S and most I buy here 🙂
