Low-fat, Low-Calorie, Blueberry Muffins

Don't skip this recipe just because it has "Low-fat and Low-calorie" in the title.  These Blueberry muffins are moist, sweet, and delicious, but totally healthy for you at the same time.  These muffins will allow you to indulge in a sweet treat without blowing up your waistline.  At only 80 calories per muffin, how could you not try it?  This recipe is one I adapted from a regular old blueberry muffin recipe found on allrecipes.com.
