Start Your Day Right with These Healthy Blueberry Muffin-Flavored Breakfast Recipes

Blueberry muffins are a popular breakfast option for many due to their convenience and deliciously sweet flavor. While we can’t deny that they are tasty, the truth is that this is because blueberry muffins are essentially cake in disguise. It’s okay to indulge in moderation, but the high sugar content can cause a sugar crash that leaves you feeling drained and sluggish. If you love blueberry muffins but are looking for breakfast ideas that help keep you full and energized, read on to discover some blueberry muffin-inspired recipes made with nutritious and filling ingredients.

Blueberry Muffin Breakfast Cookies

These cookies by Minimalist Baker have all of the fun fruity flavors of traditional blueberry muffins but are packed with protein and fiber to keep you full and focused all morning long. The recipe is vegan, but can also be made with eggs if you prefer to up the protein content.

Blueberry Muffin Smoothie

We love this smoothie by Nutrition Squeezed as a refreshing way to start the day or whenever we’re in need of an afternoon pick-me-up. It’s made with frozen blueberries along with seeds and oats to provide your body with the energy it needs, whatever the time of day. She recommends adding frozen zucchini or even cauliflower for extra fiber and nutrients.

Blueberry Muffin Protein Bars

Store-bought protein bars are fine in a pinch, but they’re often filled with lots of hidden sugar and don’t exactly tend to be budget-friendly. This recipe by Erin Lives Whole is based on the protein bar brand Perfect and includes instructions for over 10 different flavors. Our favorite is, of course, the blueberry muffin, which is made with dried blueberries and white chocolate along with protein powder and cashew butter.
