Healthy Blueberry + Summer Squash Muffins

 

Blueberry + Summer Squash Muffins
These Healthy Blueberry + Summer Squash Muffins are full of fruits + veggies thanks to fresh summer blueberries, summer yellow squash and applesauce! They are quick + easy to make and are naturally sweetened with maple syrup instead of sugar. Eat these for breakfast, after a work-out or as a snack. These muffins disappear quickly in my house, so sometimes I make a double batch!

    These muffins are so delicious! Easy to make. I sliced mine in half and spread cream cheese on them. YUM!
