    Summertime is berrytime and I love to incorporate these flavourful wonders into as many dishes as possible this time of the year. When it comes to blueberries I always think of fluffy muffins to indulge in. Most of the bakery style blueberry muffins though are loaded with tons of sugar and simple carbs. So not the ideal treat to go for when your craving something sweet but want to stay on the balanced side.

    That’s why I tried myself on a lighter version of this fluffy dessert. Instead of regular flour I used spelt flour to amp up the complex carbs. Moreover, I used less sugar but without compromising on flavour. Because this scrumptious and balanced treat will satisfy your sweet tooth for sure.

    Tips for making this fluffy treat

    Making these Blueberry Buttermilk Muffins is easy and quick. It only takes 35 minutes to prepare this fruity treat. The best part? You don’t even need a mixer to whip up this recipe and you are rewarded with fluffy muffins to share with your loved ones.

    • Whisk the wet and dry ingredients separately. Then gently whisk in the flour mixture into the wet ingredients.
    • Coat the blueberries with flour before adding them to the batter, so the don’t sink to the bottom of the muffins when baking.
    • If you have some blueberry muffins left, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
