Blythe's Blueberry Muffins

I try to stay in shape and eat healthy. As you can probably tell from my blog, I do have a weakness for sugar, butter, chocolate and fat in general. So, I read magazines like Shape and Fitness to keep me inspired and balanced.

In last month's issue of Self Gwyneth Paltrow was on the cover and inside there was a recipe for her mom's Blueberry Muffins. All I can say was - YUM! They were loaded with fresh blueberries and weren't that unhealthy (in my opinion - I know, not much). I will include the calorie & fat information at the bottom.

I made no changes from the original recipe and after my family and I ate a bunch I froze the rest for a quick breakfast and for snacks.
