Low Calorie Blueberry Muffins
What You’ll Find Below:


Healthy Blueberry Muffin Recipe Variations
Low Carb Blueberry Muffins
These blueberry muffins are already pretty low in carbs, but you can cut more carbs easily by using a sugar substitute in place of the brown sugar and granulated sugar. You can swap these out for monk fruit sweetener, or your favorite sugar substitute. You’ll want to look for all natural variations to keep these extra healthy. I like “Pure Cane Sugar Substitute” and included a link in the recipe card below to it.
High Protein Blueberry Muffins
These blueberry muffins have a decent amount of protein in them, but if you want to boost the protein even more, check out my Low Calorie High Protein Blueberry Muffins here.
Low Sodium Blueberry Muffins
You can make these blueberry muffins low sodium by swapping out the salt for fresh lemon zest. As a bonus, this will make your muffins blueberry lemon muffins. If you’re not a fan of lemon, you can just skip the salt all together.
Gluten-Free Blueberry Muffins
To make these blueberry muffins gluten free, swap out the self-rising flour for gluten-free self rising flour. You can also make your own self rising flour, combine 1.5 cup gluten-free flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Low Sugar Blueberry Muffins
To make these blueberry muffins low sugar, swap out the brown sugar and granulated sugar for your favorite sugar substitute. Monk fruit sweetener works, as does liquid sweeteners. Just add them in with the wet ingredients instead of the dry ingredients. Also, make sure to get fresh or unsweetened frozen blueberries to make this. The dried will have more sugar per cup.
Vegan Blueberry Muffins
To make these blueberry muffins vegan, swap out the eggs for vegan eggs, the Greek Yogurt for unsweetened cashew yogurt, and the butter for solid (or chilled) coconut oil.
Different Flavors to Try
You can swap out the blueberries for chocolate chips, cranberries (dried or fresh), raspberries, diced apples (add a pinch of cinnamon to the batter too!), chopped strawberries, or any of your favorite muffin flavors.


Low Calorie Blueberry Muffin Meal Prep & Storage
Meal Prep and Storage
These healthy blueberry muffins make great meal prep breakfasts! You can easily double or triple the batch (there’s a button that does the math for you) and then store them for on the go lunches all week.
Meal Prep – Make the muffins according to directions below.
Cool – Cool completely on a cooling rack or the countertop.
Refrigerate or Freeze – Wrap each muffin in plastic wrap and place in a gallon bag or container. Add to the fridge (will hold for 5 days) or the freezer (will hold for 1 month).
Frozen Tip – I like to grab a frozen blueberry muffin and add it to my purse or my daughter’s lunchbox. By the time we go to eat them, they have defrosted. You can also add one to the fridge before going to bed and wake up to a perfectly defrosted muffin.
Reheating Muffins – If you like your muffins warm you can add them to a microwave for 1 minute, a toaster oven for a minute or two. Or place in the oven on a baking tray, 250 degrees for 5-10.

Thank you!
From King Arturo’s flour. Haven’t used on these but needed I. The past and it worked.
How to make self riding flour
1 cup (120g) King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Whisk and use accordingly
Made them today and they were so tasty for low-cal! However, the crumble topping melted into the muffin so it did not look at all like your photo. Also, next time I will try tossing the blueberries in flour to keep them from sinking, as another poster suggested. Overall, they were great, but I have to take a star away for these two issues.
Try tossing them in flour beforehand. It stops them from sinking 🙂
Why did all my blueberries sink to the bottom making for a solid blue bottom. Even the ones on top sank down. Still tasty though.
So GOOD! 10/10
