As this is a blueberry muffin, the main ingredient is antioxidant-rich blueberries. In addition, the blueberries add freshens and keep the gluten-free muffin extra moist.
The walnuts, a nutritious nut, add richness and heartiness to this blueberry muffin. Walnuts are an excellent source of Omegas-3s, and as per Healthline, regularly eating walnuts has been consistently shown to decrease cholesterol levels.

I replaced butter with heart-healthy olive oil. As per WebMD, olive oil is a healthy fat and an excellent source of beneficial plant nutrients called phytochemicals that may help fight cancer and heart disease.
