Whole wheat flour and blueberries put a spin on the classic crispy cornmeal muffin. Light olive oil may seem like an unusual addition, but it's flavour-neutral and a source of good monounsaturated fat. Store whole wheat flour in an airtight container in a cool place for up to  three months or freeze for up to six months.
