Blueberry Strudel Muffins

Blueberry strudel muffins are a delightful option if you need bite-sized dessert ideas or need the perfect dish to pack for the lunchbox!

I love blueberries is no secret to anyone and I love them a lot. So when I got hold of a blueberry tin sometime back, blueberry strudel muffins were the first thing I made with them (after eating a whole bowl just like that, that is). God! they were yummy. I sent these to a boys trip my hubby had gone to and now every time, I meet his friends, the muffins are talked about 😉

While blueberries are not really ‘native’ to India, we get a lot of good imported quality ones. Blueberries, like any other berry, are really good on their antioxidant properties. They are good at combating the aging process of the body, and they build up the immunity system too. These berries help reduce inflammation of the body and thus combat heart diseases and diabetes. They are also known to boost the brain power, due to the high amount of phenols in them. Blueberries help regulate the digestion process and promote heart health. Apparently, studies have proven that eating blueberries and strawberries regularly reduces the risk of heart attacks significantly. And of course, blueberries are known for their excellent skin care properties. Now if you have a fruit with so many amazing health benefits, you will surely end up eating them regularly, right?

I have always maintained that I enjoy baking with fruits. Since most kids (and adults!) love baked products, they are one of the easiest ways to incorporate some fruits into the diet. Plus, I always feel that baking with fruits just adds that extra flavor to any recipe!

Talking about berries, have you tried making these two-way strawberry chocolate cupcakes? They are so delicious 🙂
