I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but back to school is here! And back to school means starving kids when they get home from school! These make for the perfect grab and go snack for your kids after school snack.
I am super obsessed with summer fruits, especially fresh Georgia Blueberries. Peak Georgia Blueberry season is Mid- April through the end of July. Even though it’s August, delicious blueberries are still in stores, just ready to be eaten. Muffins are one of my top food groups, sadly the majority of muffins are loaded with not so good for you ingredients. I wanted to re-invent the blueberry muffin. I wanted to knock out the refined white sugar, white flour and butter. I know, I know..no butter??? Believe me, you won’t miss it in the scrumptious little Blueberry Muffin Power Poppers. [rss-cut]
Coconut sugar is used in place of white.
White Whole Wheat Flour is used in place of white flour.
Coconut Oil took place of butter.
I added oatmeal for fiber and Greek Yogurt for protein.
Flax seed were also used to boost the nutrition.
My family was soon obsessed with these, that I made 2 batches in one week!!
While your already sitting at your computer, go check out the Produce Bites Blog brought to you by Georgia Fruit & Vegetable Growers Association. You will find yummy recipes, facts, when fruits and veggies are in season, tips & trick and much more!
Please please please limit your items in those interior rows of your grocery store. That is where you will find the majority of the unhealthy processed foods. Stick to the outside isles, that’s where you will most likely find your fruit and veggie section. My theory is if you but it enough, your kids will eventually try it and hopefully love it. Fruits and vegetables are so easy to wash and cut up for a snack or a meal! I dont think I have ever head anyone say, “I got fat from eating to many fruits and vegetables!”

I love that you used white whole wheat flour! It’s SO great for baking!
Blueberry muffins are always so delicious, and I love how healthy these are! pinned!
Thanks Taylor! The white whole wheat gave them such a nice flavor. But the blueberries stole the show 🙂
I can see why you made 2 batches of these for your family in one week. Blueberry season is my favorite of the fruit seasons. I will be making these soon.
I adore blueberry season as well Marie. Thanks for stopping by!
You know what’s funny? I never thought to make muffins for an after school snack. How silly is that? They’re the perfect idea!! Totally doing that this week – we go back tomorrow!
Muffins are perfect for after school.
Good luck with back to school tomorrow!
HOORAY FOR BACK TO SCHOOL!! Love these little muffins — Jon David’s favorite!!
Honestly Im not ready for back to school. Im not looking forward to waking up at 6 am 🙁
Love the healthy changes you made! These look amazing!
Thanks so much Rachel!
What a great idea for an after school snack! My daughter is going to full day for the first time this year, and I have been stressing about lunches, so I think I’ll stick one of these in her lunch as well!
Oh Deborah, lunches are the worst. Our school doesn’t offer lunch, so I have to pack them lunch every day. It becomes a struggle, espicially when they come home with their lunchbox still full of the food you packed them!!!!
These little muffin poppers are calling my name! Love that you made them super healthy and whole wheat….yum!
Thanks girl. They were so good and I didn’t feel so guilty eating so many!
Wowee! Your photos are beautiful. Those are definitely the best blueberry muffins I’ve ever seen 🙂
Ahhh thanks so much for your kind words. They are pretty photogenic!
These look oh so yummy!! I am a big fan of blueberry muffins…
Thank you for stopping by Whitni!
