These muffins have ground flax seed as the egg replacer which is my fit and fabulous healthy omega addition. They are packed with cinnamon, vanilla flavors with a hint of almond. Top these muffins with a warm blueberry drizzle and cinnamon streusel clusters. These muffins kick refined sugars butt with pure maple syrup as the primary sweetener, and they are fabulous with or without the blueberry topping but I highly recommended the added cinnamon streusel for an extra cinnamon kick. Start your morning enjoying these with a hot cup of tea, and newspaper in hand, they also work just as well as a grab and go breakfast! Whatever your mornings like these homemade muffins are sure to make your morning a bit more cheery!

Preparation

Muffins:

  2. Line your muffin tins with either muffin tin liners, or cut pieces of parchment paper.

Cinnamon Streusel:

Blueberry Drizzle: 
  1. Stir your wild blueberries, and pure maple syrup over medium heat.
  2. - Let blueberries simmer for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to burst.

Notes

You can opt out of the blueberry drizzle, but I highly recommend the cinnamon clusters on top for an added cinnamon kick.
