Blueberry Muffins

Blueberry Muffins

I've been in a baking mood for the last week and thought I'd share another one of my favourites from the 80/20 eBook. These high protein blueberry muffins are practically a meal in itself and are lovely for breakfast on the run served with your favourite cup of tea or long black. Each muffin has just over 7 grams of protein which will help fill you up, keep blood sugars stable and support a healthy metabolism. I've made them with almonds which are kind to the digestive system and won't bloat you out.
