Sweet juicy blueberries are full of antioxidants and low in calories. Blueberries along with the oats provide an ample amount of fiber. There’s also some good minerals tucked away inside that the blueberries bring too, like potassium, copper, iron, manganese and zinc too.  Bet you didn’t know those pretty little blue spheres had so much packed inside them.  Besides they make food pretty, like in Quinoa Salad with Blueberries. They’re delicious, all by themselves too, frozen, one by one.

 

You’re going to love these muffins, they’re not full of just empty calories. Oats bring a wide array of nutrients to pack into these dense breakfast treats. Besides the fiber which works against cholesterol, oats also have manganese just like the blueberries. Now you may be asking what exactly does manganese do for me? Manganese does the body good, it helps make strong bones, it assists in  maintaining blood sugar levels, aids the function of the thyroid gland, and promotes healthy nerves. Wow! But there’s more, Oats also are beneficial at working against heart disease and diabetes. You can grind your own oat flour for this recipe if you have a Vitamix. Don’t just limit yourself to these for breakfast. They travel well, so take them on a road trip, put them in the kids lunches, or make them for your co-workers, remember brownie points, or should we say blueberry points. Double Blueberry muffins are sure to gain you some points with your family too.
