Blueberry Yogurt Flax MuffinsNo butter, no milk, no worries. I wanted to make muffins with all the blueberries my Aunt Lily was so kind to give me. I froze most of the blueberries so I would have them handy for smoothies. Another very rainy day in Seattle and a smoothie just didn't seem appealing.
Oh, how nice it would be to smell freshly baked muffins today. Blueberry muffins it is. NO, no, no...no butter. Forget it. Wait. I checked out a few recipes online like foodnetwork, cooks.com, hmmm. I also looked through a few of my old cookbooks. Well, I combined a few recipes and added a few healthy ingredients and SUCCESS! My biggest critics, husband & son, loved my blueberry muffin creation.
