These jumbo blueberry muffins rival those that you’d find in a bakery. They’re made with whole wheat flour and contain no butter or oil!
Ever since I received a jumbo muffin pan for Christmas, I’ve wanted to make lots of things in it. Unfortunately, I just haven’t had the time. I managed to make these jumbo chocolate chip muffins but that was it.
One day, I made these jumbo blueberry muffins because we were running out of breakfast items. We typically do not have a lot of time in the mornings to eat so muffins are always perfect.
I made these jumbo blueberry muffins out of white whole wheat flour. In addition, I used applesauce instead of butter or oil. That makes these healthy, right? Which means that I can eat one jumbo muffin on my own? Please?
My family loved these jumbo blueberry muffins, particularly the crunchy sugar topping. And because each muffin was gigantic, we got to share them. Sharing = caring.
If you’re in need of a breakfast recipe, look no further. These jumbo blueberry muffins are just about as close to perfection as you can get.
