My name is Catherine Chiu and over quarantine I have started to bake a lot. I have baked chocolate chip cookies, brownies, coffee cake, cupcakes, and even muffins, all from scratch. However, after baking all these delicious foods, I realize that I cannot finish it all because these desserts are not very healthy. So, I figured out I could find a healthier recipe for all of favorite desserts. The first recipe I found was the whole wheat bluberry muffins by Kate Wood. They are healthy, but taste like heaven. Keep scrolling to find the recipe.
