Last week Shelly and I were at the local farmer’s market and they were having a 65% off sale on fresh, jumbo-sized blueberries. We purchased 7 lbs. of blueberries and froze most of them for later use. However, we did use a pint of them to make this delicious blueberry muffins recipe.
Muffins are one of those things that freeze really well. If desired, once they’re cool you can wrap them individually and then place them into a large freezer storage bag. We store our’s in the freezer for up to 3 months. When needed, just thaw in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours or at room temperature. You can then reheat them in the microwave if you want to enjoy them warm.
Whole Wheat Blueberry Muffins Recipe
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 large egg
1/3 cup milk
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 pint fresh blueberries
paper muffin cup liners
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line your baking pan with the paper muffin cup liners; set aside.
In a large mixing bowl sift together the whole wheat flour, granulated sugar, salt and baking powder until combined.
In a large mixing bowl beat together the vegetable oil, large egg, milk and the unsweetened applesauce until creamy. Stir this mixture into your first bowl until all ingredients are well-combined. Stir in the fresh blueberries by hand so that they’re distributed throughout the batter. Spoon batter into your prepared baking pan.
Place baking pan into a preheated 350 degree oven and bake for approximately 14-16 minutes or until done. The muffins with be a light, golden-brown color and firm in the center. Remove and let cool on a wire rack.

I have never tried making muffins with whole whet. You are lucky you found blueberries at such a good price, I freeze mine too when on sale they do keep well. I would want one of these muffins warmed and slathered with yep real butter it sounds so good!
I wish my farmer’s market would have a sale like that one.I love blueberries fresh and baked.
I love blueberries. I’ve made regular blueberry muffins but not whole wheat. I bet these would be delicious.
Nothing that can beat muffins made with fresh blueberries. I like to make a few batches and freeze them so they are readily available.
I love fresh blueberry muffins. You were lucky to find that good deal on blueberries too. I want to make some now. Thank you for the recipe.
That was a great find of blueberries. This recipe looks yummy.
