Take Two: Blueberry Scone and Blueberry Muffin

Find out which bakery breakfast wins the nutrition showdown.

It's smart to reach for the blueberry variety of your favorite bakery breakfast. Blueberries contain anthocyanins, antioxidants that have been linked to a range of cognitive-function benefits. As long as it's reasonably sized, a typical muffin contains less fat than a similarly sized scone. Scones require extra butter, flour, and sugar to achieve their appealing density.
