Who doesn’t love a blueberry muffin chockablock with enough berries to stain your tongue purple?

If the words light and tender don’t jive with your impressions of whole-wheat anything, you’ve got a surprise in store: These muffins, made with whole-wheat pastry flour, deliver all that you want and expect in a muffin, along with the dividend of extra fiber, vitamins, and a delicate wheaty flavor.
