Need a delicious, light and easy snack or dessert? These Blueberry & Poppy Seed Muffins will have you covered. They are made with simple and easy ingredients that you most likely already have at home and only take 10 minute to prepare and are ready to serve within 30 minutes. Since they are both gluten and sugar free and low in fat they’re healthy enough to have for breakfast or afternoon snack but also delicious enough to make for dessert.
Blueberries and poppy seeds is a wonderful combination if you ask me! The creamy, soft and sweet blueberries combine so well with the slightly nutty and crunchy texture of poppy seeds. So I just had to take this lovely combo and turn it into the most tender and delicious blueberry and poppy seeds muffins. These muffins are so tender, moist and delicious, but also healthy, light and not at all overwhelming at the same time. The secret is that they’re made both gluten and sugar free with just one tablespoon of coconut oil. The rest of the moist and juiciness comes from yogurt/quark and apple sauce which also make the muffins feel fresh, light and add a wonderful delicate sweetness to them. They are made with xylitol to make them sugar free, and the amount of sweetener can be adapted according to how sweet you prefer them. These blueberry and poppy seed muffins are really quick and easy to bake. You can make a big batch and serve them both for breakfast, afternoon snack or dessert.
A few tips:
- Use an unsweetened apple sauce (I usually do my own), but that still is naturally sweet from the apples. So if making your own apple sauce, make sure to use juicy and sweet apples and not the tart or sour once.
- If you want to make these muffins dairy free you can easily swap the yogurt/quark for a dairy free option.
- You can make these muffins either in a bowl using a hand mixer or whisk or use a food blender.
- I prefer to use fresh blueberries since they don’t color the batter as mush as frozen ones do. But other than that you can easily swap the fresh blueberries for frozen ones.
- Do not over blend the batter. You should just whisk/mix just until combined and then gently fold in the blueberries.
- Let the muffins cool completely before eating them.
