Culinary Goddess: Super Healthy Blueberry, Raspberry & Superfood Muffins Recipe

I love to play around with recipes, get creative and make them my own - which is exactly how I came up with the below recipe, which has become very popular and a real favourite with my family and friends.

I took a simple blueberry muffin recipe and adapted it to make it even more jam-packed full of goodness!



I love the Linwoods Super Food mixes, especially the flax, sunflower, pumpkin & sesame seed & goji berry mix (see pic below) - the addition of this to the recipe makes the muffins a bit more mealy and scone-like in texture (but still really good if I do say so myself!) and loaded with vitamin E, iron, fibre, protein, omega 3, potassium and zinc - to name a few!

"Our healthy super foods are cold milled to aid quick and easy absorption into the body, so you can feel the immediate nutritional benefit in your diet, naturally."

Bonus - you can sprinkle a little on top of the muffins before they go into the oven to create a healthy, crunchy topping, too! :)

3) Pour combined wet ingredients into the flour mixture and mix well with a wooden spoon.  Add another dash of milk and/or oil as needed, using your own discretion if mixture seems too dry.  You want it slightly sticky and of a dropping consistency.

4) Fold in berries and mix well.

5) Fill muffin tins/cases right to the top and sprinkle a little of the Linwoods seed & berry mixture onto the top of each muffin to create a crunchy & healthy topping.

6) Place in oven and bake for 20-30 mins or until golden brown on top and a knife inserted into the center of muffins comes out clean.

Voila! Golden Brown & Delicious

Allow to cool slightly in tins, before removing and placing to further cool on a wire rack.

Then dig in & enjoy, guilt free! Yum! :)
