My sister-in-law, Jaclynn, recently whipped together this healthy blueberry muffin recipe aka blueberry lentil muffin recipe. She loves experimenting in the kitchen and decided to try and integrate lentils in a muffin recipe. Shhh... don't tell the kids.
When she told me she made the muffins with pureed lentils I was skeptical, but WOW... these muffins are healthy AND delicious. Jaclynn was kind enough to let me share her recipe here.
Enjoy serving these healthy dessert treats at your tea parties, luncheons, and slumber party breakfasts!
