Blueberry and Walnut Muffins

Blueberry and walnut muffins are my favourite muffins. Here is a good recipe which includes spelt flour and oatmeal, and I find this a good combination for those with high cholesterol levels and it is tastier than the plain oatmeal muffins I used to recommend for those with high LDL (bad) cholesterol levels.

Blueberry and walnut muffins are my favourite muffins. Here is a good recipe which includes spelt flour and oatmeal, and I find this a good combination for those with high cholesterol levels and it is tastier than the plain oatmeal muffins I used to recommend for those with high LDL (bad) cholesterol levels.

The blueberries are possibly the best fruit yet in terms of their ability to counter oxidative stress in the body, which means they help fight premature ageing. Walnuts are incredibly healthy as well, and the combination of both blueberry, walnut and oatmeal is fantastic.
Enjoy one of these a day, they taste great!
