Blueberry Power Muffins with Almond Streusel

By hpdoxi

We call these "power" muffins because they're loaded with B vitamins from whole wheat flour, calcium from milk and yogurt, antioxidants from blueberries, and heart-friendly monounsaturated fat from almonds and canola oil. You can freeze the muffins for up to a month, then thaw them at room temperature, or microwave each muffin at HIGH 15 to 20 seconds.

Ingredients

• Muffins:
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 cup quick-cooking oats
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups vanilla low-fat yogurt
