Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place muffine liners in muffin pan and spray with non stick spray.

Mix applesauce and the next 5 ingredients in a large bowl until smooth.

Mix whole wheat flour thru walnuts together until well combined. Add fresh blueberries so that they are coated with dry ingredients. This will assure the blueberries are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Add dry mixture to the wet mixture, and mix gently, just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Let sit for 10 minutes. Divide the batter evenly among 12 muffin cups. Bake for 15 to 20 min until tops are dry and golden brown. Turn the muffins onto a wire rack to cool. Let me knwo what you think Your gonna love em!
