Non-Fat Blueberry Muffins
Description
These Non-Fat Blueberry Muffins offer a guilt-free way to enjoy a classic breakfast treat.

They are easy to whip up with pantry staples and provide a nutritious start to your day. Enjoy them warm from the oven for the best flavor and texture.Ingredients
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
-
Lightly coat twelve 2 to 2 1/2 inch muffin pan cups with non-fat cooking spray.
-
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg whites and skim milk until well combined.
-
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the egg mixture and sugar.
-
Gently stir with a spatula until just combined; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
-
If using frozen blueberries, ensure they are thawed and drained. Gently fold the blueberries into the batter.
-
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them about two-thirds full.
-
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Note
For best results, do not overmix the batter, as this can lead to tough muffins. A few lumps are normal and desired.
If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before folding into the batter to prevent them from turning the batter purple. However, if you choose to thaw them, drain any excess liquid well.
These muffins store well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
For added flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of lemon zest to the wet ingredients.
