Healthier Blueberry Muffins

Submitted by Mandala

"Healthier than your average blueberry muffins (less sugar, less fat, and whole grain) and still delicious! You can use lemon in place of lime for a different hint of citrus. The raw sugar gives that nice crunch to the tops of the muffins, but can easily be left off."
