Many people pair lemon with blueberries in muffins; like these Mutagen Lemon Blueberry Muffins (made with hidden spinach).

However, I did not have any lemons, only an orange. So, I mixed and matched a few recipes and came up with these scrumptious blueberry swirled beauties.

Sugar Substitutes for Orange Blueberry Muffins

I used a stevia for baking blend to make these. You can go with sugar or any sugar substitute for baking you prefer.

I would recommend using a powdered substitute, not a liquid one. If you go with liquid you may need to reduce the amount of orange juice for proper consistency.
