Whole Wheat Blueberry Muffins

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups whole wheat flour
• 0.75 cup white sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1 egg
• 1/3 cup milk
• 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1 pint fresh blueberries

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
2. Whisk flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder together in a large bowl.
3. Whisk vegetable oil, egg, milk, and applesauce together in a separate bowl until smooth; stir into flour mixture until just moistened. Gently fold in blueberries. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until muffins rise and tops are golden brown, about 20 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin should come out clean. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
