Blueberry gems

So I was looking for some recipes that using blueberries. Of course there are so many recipes for blueberry muffins or crumb cakes, but I wanted something different. From 1000's of recipes I have, I found this Blueberry gems recipe. I had no idea what "blueberry gems" is, so I googled, and basically it looks like mini muffins. Well, ok, it's muffins, but this recipe looks so healthier than other muffin recipes, no butter or no egg yolks, and I never made them before, so I decided to make them.

Because this recipe doesn't use butter, not so moist or buttery, of course. But low calories.





















I also put cinnamon sugar topping on some of the muffins.













I also made half of the batter in this Nordic Bundt Tea Cakes & Candies Pan
