It’s a fact that blueberries have many health benefits, including protecting your brain and, yes, even making you smarter! Eating blueberries in a muffin has to be one of the most delicious ways to become a brainiac, but the problem is that most blueberry muffins are loaded with sugar and empty carbs. Blood sugar spikes then kill off the brain cells—where’s the smarts in that? Here’s the clever way to eat a blueberry muffin and keep that blood sugar stable! This recipe is in the "Sweet Treats - Quick Single Muffin" section of the Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook, page 275. Makes 1 large "muffin in a mug" or 2 smaller muffins in the oven.

Ingredients
  • coconut oil spray (optional)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 Tbs water
  • 1 Tbs extra virgin coconut oil (or butter)
  • 1/4 cup TH Baking Blend
  • 1 pinch TH Mineral Salt
  • 1/2 tsp aluminum-free baking powder (generous 1/2 tsp)
  • 2 Tbs blueberries (fresh or frozen)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 350°F if baking the muffins. Lightly coat an 8-cup muffin tin with coconut oil spray.
  2. 2
    Whisk the egg in a small bowl or, if microwaving, in a large coffee mug. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. If baking, divide the batter between 2 muffin holes and fill the remaining holes with water (gives a nice steaming effect); bake for 15 to 17 minutes. Or, microwave in the mug for 1 minute 20 seconds.
