145 Calorie Blueberry Muffins

I have found a lot of low cal muffins that require the use of fake sugars. Not so here! You will never find any fake sugars (except maybe all natural Stevia) anywhere in my kitchen or my blog.

I found a version of this recipe online and I made them when my Vegan in-laws were visiting for the weekend. I make a few changes to make them healthier but the final result was  absolutely delicious!


145 Calorie Blueberry Muffins (makes 12 standard size muffins)

2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 lemons worth of lemon zest (save the juice, you will need that too)
3/4 cup bakers sugar (you can go up to 1 cup if you like your muffins sweeter)
1 cup milk ( I used organic soy but any type of milk will do)
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 Tbs. lemon juice
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries


1.Preheat the oven to 375F. Spray muffin pan with cooking spray or use liners.
2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt
3. In a different bowl, combine the lemon zest, sugar, milk, applesauce, and lemon juice.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until just combined. Don't over mix!
5. Gently fold in the blueberries.
6. Fill the muffin tins about 3/4 of the way full
7. Bake at 375F for about 20-22 min until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. If you didn't use liners, let them cool for 5 min before removing them from the pan.

*Sorry I don't have a photo for this one, but trust me, they look just like muffins.
