So the other day I had some blueberries left from Costco that had a gotten a little too soft to serve by themselves. I decided to make this bread with blueberries. But then I looked at the list of ingredients and thought I would try to make it more healthy by cutting the sugar and butter and switching the flour. And then I realized I didn't have enough time to bake the bread for breakfast before everyone ran out the door so I turned it into muffins instead of bread (and saved 40 minutes of baking time.)
The results of this experiment were fantastic. Yummy!
