AUNTIE E'S BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

 We have been watching our sugar impact during this Covid 19  Quarantine  time. I am on the borderline of Type 2 Diabetes. Hubby is just trying not to gain a boat load of weight.
This recipe does have some natural sugar in it. Mostly on the topping. I did try using a Trivia Brown sugar topping once and it really didn't do well. Therefore I now use regular Dark brown sugar. It is an Low impact Carb, that way it will not spike your Glucose level.
