About This Calculation

Blueberry Muffins has a high glycemic load of 24.9 per serving — significant blood sugar impact — consider pairing with protein and fiber, or adjusting portion size.

The primary glycemic load contributors are granulated sugar (plus 1 tablespoon for topping) (GL 11.5), all-purpose flour (plus 1 tablespoon) (GL 11.5), fresh blueberries (GL 1.8). These ingredients account for the majority of the carbohydrate impact per serving.

Glycemic load is calculated as GL = (GI × Net Carbs per serving) ÷ 100, where GI is the glycemic index and net carbs exclude dietary fiber. Calculations draw on established nutritional references including USDA FoodData Central values and peer-reviewed glycemic index research.
