Lemon-Blueberry Muffins

Whole Grain Goodness

Eating at least 3 servings of whole grain daily may help reduce blood cholesterol. Look for the word "whole" to be sure you get the whole grain.

Success

Mix muffin batter only until all the dry ingredients are moistened. If mixed too much, the muffins will be tough instead of tender.
