Blueberry Lime Muffins – 139 Calories Each and Delicious!

I am so lucky because my friend Kathy brings me blueberries from a blueberry farm near her summer home – like several pounds worth! I just got them a few weeks ago. Ate some, froze some for later. I’ve been enjoying adding them to cereal, pancakes, with yogurt – they are perfect.

I haven’t made muffins in a while, so what better way to add blueberries?

Last summer I participated in a cooking contest with O Olive oil and vinegar. I made apple pie with mine that turned out amazing! Sadly, I did not win, but I love O Olive oil products. You can order them HERE.

Once I started making these, I found out I didn’t have any other oil or butter in the house! So I turned to O Olive oil and these turned out awesome!

I figured out the calories on www.caloriecount.com.

I didn’t have any powdered sugar, but if you wanted to, you could add a little powdered sugar with lime juice and drizzle that over the top (just add the calories if you do that!).

Have you been blueberry picking this summer? What are you making?

If you haven’t frozen fresh blueberries – this is the way I did it:
