Course Bread, Breakfast, Brunch
Servings 12

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp lemon zest (don't leave this out – give great flavor!)
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 Tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup blueberries

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375. Spray a regular size muffin tin with non stick spray and set aside
  • Stir together the flour, baking soda and lemon zest in a medium bowl. Set aside
  • Combine the melted butter, applesauce, sugar and eggs in a large bowl. Stir in the sour cream. Stir in all but 1 Tbsp of the flour mixture. Mix until just combined and moistened – do not overmix
  • Place the blueberries in the bowl with the remaining 1 tablespoon of flour and toss to coat.
  • Fold the flour dusted blueberries into the batter.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins almost to the brim.
  • Bake until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool the muffins in the tin for 5 minutes, then take them out (may need to run a thin knife around the edge) and let them cool on a rack, eat them warm!
