Lower Carb Blueberry Muffins

I wasn’t really sure that I liked Birch Benders Paleo  for pancakes and waffles.  Sure lots of people like it, and it is okay with some extras added.  Where it really shines for me is for use as a muffin base.  I’ve made a couple different muffins with the Paleo and they’ve all come out yummy.   Give it a try!
