Thanks to my friends at Bob’s Red Mill for supporting Healthy Helper and making these tasty muffins possible!!
SUMMER IS HERE….and I’ll take any excuse to celebrate. 🥳
Sure…the Fourth of July is the ‘main’ summer holiday, but the warm weather, blue skies, and bright sunshine are enough reason to celebrate all season long in my opinion.
Since getting back from my trip to Spain, I’ve been having a great time getting into the kitchen and creating some awesome new recipes for you all. With June almost over, I immediately had my sights set on creating a delicious, patriotic snack just in time for Independence Day!
There will be cookouts and BBQs galore in the next few weeks, so why not go outside of comfort zone and make something really festive instead of boring potato salad, pasta salad, cornbread, baked beans, or any of the other typical Fourth of July foods. My first thought? Some sort of red, white, and blue dessert to really knock people’s socks off!
That’s when these Red, White, and Blueberry Muffins came into existence!
With all my essential Bob’s Red Mill products on hand, I started brainstorming what combination of foods I could pair together to make the ultimate patriotic treat! Here’s what I settled on…
RED dried cranberries
WHITE chocolate Chips
BLUE blueberries
Plus, Bob’s gluten-free oat flour to make these whole grain and gluten-free, yet still light and fluffy like a proper muffin! I also used their vegan egg replacer, baking powder, sea salt, and coconut sugar.
Bob’s is basically a ONE STOP SHOP for all your baking needs now! They have EVERYTHING you need to make healthy, delicious treats.
And these muffins prove that!!

- 1/4 tsp Bob’s Red Mill sea salt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk

Vegan, gluten-free, low in sugar, and SO FESTIVE for the Fourth!! There’s only so many red, white, and blue dishes out there and this one is sure to be a crowd pleaser at your get-togethers.
