    Whole Wheat Turmeric Blueberry Muffins

    Whole Wheat Turmeric Blueberry Muffins

     Whole-Wheat-Turmeric-Blueberry-Muffins

    Whole wheat muffins that are fluffy, moist, bursting with blueberries, and a kick of turmeric is a great and healthy option for your morning!

     

    Are you ever in that situation where you think buying that delicious looking blueberry muffin at your local coffee shop is a healthy option when you’re out? Only to look up the nutritional value of said muffin and basically you just ate a large piece of cake with some antioxidants. How frustrating is that?!

     

    Per usual, I like to make everything at home with whole clean ingredients. This way I know where everything came from and I can stick to my healthy lifestyle.

    I also have wanted to play with turmeric for a while now after I saw a dessert recipe on Pinterest a few weeks ago. It intrigued me, and I couldn’t get it out of my head.

     

    Fun Fact: Turmeric has been used in India for thousands of years for many medical applications. It also contributes to anti-inflammation, it’s considered brain food, and some studies have linked it to cancer prevention!

    So when Bob’s Red Mill sent me a big box of fun earlier last month I knew what was in store for their Whole Wheat Pastry Flour. Seriously, BEST.FLOUR.EVER. It makes the best cookies, cakes, muffins, pancakes, you name it!

    These also make a great post workout snack. I shared these with my fellow Crossfitters this morning and they seemed pretty happy about it! J

      I absolutely love Bob's Red Mill and especially their whole wheat pastry flour! I even bring it to Germany with me. 🙂 I recently started using turmeric in tea and am totally intrigued by these muffins!
