Whole Wheat Lemon Blueberry-Olive Oil Cupcakes

Whole wheat flour, Lemon zest, Blueberry & Olive oil

I guess I am one of those people who doesn’t try new things usually, but when they do, they stick to the new as if there is nothing else that matters.

I am talking about the flavor combos of the cakes / muffins or breads I am making these days. Ever since I tried Lemon & Blueberry combo for the cake. I am itching to make it again but a little bit more healthified.

Introducing:

Whole wheat – Lemon – Blueberry – Olive Oil Muffins with (wait for it) ….Yogurt frosting.

Yes, I made it with healthy ingredients and used Olive oil. But dont worry about the flavor of olive oil in the muffin. The muffin kicks in the lemon flavor first and then the sweet blueberry follows to your taste buds.

You will not taste the olive oil at all. It’s just in your mind. Really!!

And further more, the yogurt glaze on the top makes sure your sweet tooth is satisfied before going to lemony route.

Whole wheat grains, lemon juice, blueberry sweetness and Olive oil healthy fat — Need I say more???
