MessestoMemories: SIMPLE & DELICIOUS BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

These muffins are good! So good that I have been craving them for a whole month...

My family and I completed 30 days of real food during the month of March. I had never heard the term "real food" until February. After doing some research, I found that "real food" is becoming a lot more popular among parents and other health nuts. The hardest part for me was the no sugar rule, especially at breakfast time. For those of you that are curious, I learned a lot from 100 Days of Real Food--you can learn more about the rules here.

Now, you might think that breakfast is a weird time to miss sugar. But it totally isn't weird if your favorite breakfast is a delicious muffin with a glass of rich dark chocolate almond milk. Plus a batch of muffins usually lasts for a couple breakfasts... I tried 5 different real food muffin recipes during the month of March and none of them were decent. They all tasted like cardboard and after a day they were as hard as rocks. If you find a good real food muffin recipe, please let me know!

These blueberry muffins are a childhood favorite. And they are the first thing I made when my 30 days of real food were over. These muffins are not real food. They have a little bit over a cup of sugar... which is probably what makes them real delicious muffins! Here is what you need to make these real delicious blueberry muffins.
