Festive Low Fat Summer Berry Muffins
Happy Muffin Monday! How cute are these low fat summer berry muffins?! I took my low fat blueberry muffin recipe and jazzed it up just in time for Memorial Day! Fun, festive sprinkles add lots of fun color and strawberries bring some added moisture and sweetness. These cuties taste like cake and all of the fruit keeps them nice and moist. The best part of these muffins are the sprinkles. I got these festive red, white and blue sprinkles and have been putting them on everything to get in the patriotic mood. After all, everything is better with sprinkles!
