Healthy Berry Muffins

This is another red, white, and blue recipe, but this one is for breakfast.  They are bursting with berry flavor not only from the berries you see, but also from the berry puree in the batter.  And, they gave me a chance to try out a new idea I had with chia seeds.  I wanted to use stevia as the sweetener, but it calls for liquid sweetener, but all liquid sweeteners are a bit thicker than water.  So, I soaked the chia seeds in water until they formed a gel and mixed the sweetener into that giving me a thicker-than-water, healthy sweetener to mix into my muffins.  Feel free to use a different sweetener.  The original recipe calls for 1/4 cup of agave nectar, honey, or maple syrup, so you could just substitute that for the water, chia seeds and stevia.
