These Blueberry Breakfast Bites are healthy, little muffins crammed full of goodness and oozy blueberries. A great way to start the day!
Blueberries are little spheres of joy. Not only do they taste good but they are absolutely stuffed full of goodness.
A true superfood.
They have one of the highest antioxidant capacities of all fruits. These antioxidants help to neutralize free radicals linked to the development of cancer, cardiovascular disease and many other age related conditions. They have also been shown to improve eye health, memory and blood sugar regulation.
So eat more blueberries guys!
A reader reached out to me last week asking if I had any blueberry recipes and I was surprised to find that I didn't and promised her that I would come up with something new which featured blueberries.
And that is how Blueberry Breakfast Bites came about.
These Blueberry Breakfast Bites are
fruity
coconutty (is that a word?)
oaty
healthy
and stuffed full of blueberry goodness.
They are also super easy to make and come together from start to finish in under half an hour. They keep well in the fridge and can also be frozen, a good option if you think you might be tempted to eat them all at once!
If you are like me and can't get enough of blueberries this Summer then check out my Lemon & Blueberry Cornmeal Muffins and my Blueberry Sauce With Lavender.

These look perfect for my allergy ridden little toddler. My only concern is his ability to eat the shredded coconut. If I omit that should I increase one of the other dry ingredients?
Thank you
Melanie McDonald says
It should be ok if you omit the coconut without changing anything else because coconut isn't really absorbent anyway. These muffins have pretty similar ingredients and no coconut though. It might be worth checking to see if they are ok. https://avirtualvegan.com/vegan-blueberry-bran-muffins/

Hi Sandra, I've never tried it but I think they will be fine if you switch the spelt flour for oat flour.
Kathy says
Is there a way to leave out coconut and coconut oil? I have allergy to it! Thank you! They look delicious.
A Virtual Vegan says
These might be a better option for you. They are oil free and you can use any sugar instead of the coconut sugar. https://avirtualvegan.com/vegan-blueberry-bran-muffins/
