Blueberries are high in antioxidants and nutrients and low in calories. They make a perfect snack or a great addition to any muffin or cookie recipe. Blueberries contain a vitamin-C, vitamin-A, and vitamin-E and even vitamin-B Complex.
This recipe would be good for breakfast, a snack or even dessert. My husband tasted one and said it tastes just like blueberry pie, hence the recipe name:-)
I used a combination of coconut flour and almond flour. You can feel free to use any flour that you have on hand. Whole wheat flour would be a good healthy choice for this recipe as well.
To sweeten these, I use date sugar and pure maple syrup. Those are both approved sweeteners for the whole food plant-based diet, as well as a vegan diet. I love date sugar; unlike other sweeteners, it’s totally unprocessed. Date sugar is made from finely chopped dry dates. Maple syrup is also a great sweetener. It contains calcium and is a good copper, riboflavin, and manganese. Why not try a sweetener that also adds some nutritional value to your diet??
