Blueberry Muffins made with Pure Via Stevia
Blueberry Muffins made with Pure Via Stevia – Stevia is a naturally sourced sweetener made from the pure sweet extract of the Stevia plant. I received Pure Via Stevia to sample, use and bake with. I have now used all three of their products. In my morning coffee I usually use 1/2 packet of sweetener. That was very easy to switch over to Stevia and I found it less artificial tasting and a bit sweeter. So every morning I use 1/2 packet of Stevia in my coffee, yum just the right sweetness for me.
Then I tried the Turbinado Raw Cane Sugar and Stevia blend. This I used in the my Rum and Raisin French Toast and it sure was delicious and you would never have known there was a sweetener added.
Lastly I wanted to try the granulated Stevia. Included with the product was a little recipe book. In the cookbook was a recipe for blueberry muffins. They are low in calories coming in at 150 each and looked delicious!! So this is the recipe that I will share with you today. Amber loved these for breakfast or for a snack. I did find them a bit dry but with a fresh fruit compote like the strawberry rhubarb one I had recently made they were very good. I love fresh blueberries and this recipe had lots!! The sweetness was just right with using the Stevia, you would have never known there was a sweetener used.
