Ingredients

½ cup blueberries
⅔ cup all-purpose flour or whole wheat pastry flour
½ cup collagen powder* see notes
2 and ½ tablespoons granulated sugar* or granulated sweetener of choice
6 packets Stevia In The Raw* see notes for substitutions
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup almond milk, unsweetened or milk of choice
1 large egg
2 tablespoons olive oil or canola oil
½ tablespoon vanilla extract
turbinado (sugar in the raw) optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven and prep your muffin tin. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a standard 6 cup muffin tin with paper liners and spray the liners with non-stick spray.
Mix the dry ingredients. Whisk the flour, collagen powder, sugar, stevia, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
Mix the wet ingredients (separately). In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the milk together with the egg, olive oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add wet to dry. Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and mix with a large spoon until just incorporated. Don't overmix. Fold in the blueberries.
Fill the muffin tin. Distribute the batter evenly among the 6 muffin cups (a cookie scoop works well for this). Sprinkle the tops with turbinado (sugar in the raw).
Bake. Bake the muffins in the center of the oven for 16-19 minutes (17 is perfect for me).
Cool. Allow the muffins to cool for 3-4 minutes before removing them from the muffin tin to cool completely. Muffins taste best after resting for a couple of hours (if you can wait).
Enjoy!

Notes

Collagen Powder- I used the Original Collagen Peptides from Vital Proteins. If you choose a different brand, just be sure it's unflavored.
Sugar- I used a combination of regular granulated sugar and stevia to sweeten the muffins. I find that just a touch of regular sugar with stevia gives the best flavor while keeping the sugar and calories low. Feel free to substitute your favorite granulated sweetener in place of the sugar.
Stevia- I used six packets of Stevia In The Raw. Stevia is a natural sugar substitute with zero calories. There are many different brands on the market, so feel free to use whichever you prefer. Just read the label and use the equivalent of ¼ cup of sugar.
Storage- Muffins will stay fresh covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
