Muffins are something I have loved since graduate school. My lunch would sometimes consist of a coffee and nice big blueberry muffin. At that time I even thought I was having a healthy lunch! But knowing what I know now, I am a little appalled when I think of how much saturated fat and refined white sugar I would unwittingly consume, not to mention all the other unknown ingredients.

​While I of course avoid eating those tasty looking treats from the bakery now, it doesn't mean I have to be totally without. It has taken some experimenting, but I finally have an MS friendly recipe that can fill the blueberry muffin void in my life. So if you are also a fellow blueberry muffin lover, try out the recipe below. If has become a family favorite, and as an added bonus, it is actually pretty quick and easy to whip up!

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking soda

  • 3/4 cup maple syrup or honey
