Fat Free Blueberry Cinnamon Muffins



Blueberry muffins with a hint of cinnamon - a perfect match. And almost no guilt because they are fat free! What could be better? These muffins are a wonderful start to any day. There once was a time when my weekends would not be complete without a gigantic blueberry muffin from Dunkin' Donuts. Sadly, those times are over. But, muffins need not be cut out completely. These muffins are definitely not as large as the ones you would get at a bakery, but knowing exactly what goes into them and feeling good about your choices totally makes up for that.
