From the health-conscious chefs at the Omega Institute .

Blueberries, besides being sweet and delicious, are excellent sources of antioxidant flavonoids. Try these tender muffins bursting with the goodness of blueberries to help guard against cancer and promote better heart-health.

Blueberry Corn Muffins make a perfect breakfast, lunchbox treat, supper side-dish, or snack anytime–and they’re dairy-free.

INGREDIENTS

2 cups All-Purpose flour
2 cup fine yellow cornmeal
1 1/2 tablespoons non-aluminum baking powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup vegetable oil
4 1/2 ounces silken tofu
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 cup apple juice concentrate
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup fresh blueberries
