Posted byElisabeth DuboisPosted inBreakfast

As much of the country and the world has been in isolation for over a month due to COVID-19, many have had to make substitutions to their favorite recipes. Like many others, we took this time to experiment in the kitchen and eat and live healthier. In an effort to improve our immunity to the virus and our wellbeing, we have mostly eliminated sugar and carbs from our diets. Despite these efforts, we still had a craving for snacks and dessert. Probably one of our favorites (although most of them have been delicious) snacks/ desserts were our isolation Gluten-free Blueberry Crumble Muffins.
