I received free blueberries recently. I admit I never actually tasted a real one before. Always the boxed muffin kind. I loved them. Recently switched to whole wheat, so I wanted to try a new muffin recipe out. This is the one that not only turned out great, but filling as well. When I was eating it, I was craving eggs. Next time I will have to remember to throw in a fried egg or two on the side. I made 6 jumbo muffins.
Prep Time::15 mins
Cook Time::20 mins
Total Time::35 mins
Servings::6
Yield::6 muffins
Ingredients
1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
½ cup white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (Optional)
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup skim milk
1 egg
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cups fresh blueberries
½ cup brown sugar (Optional)
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (Optional)
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 6 jumbo muffin cups with paper liners.
Whisk whole wheat flour, white sugar, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt together in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk skim milk, egg, softened butter, and vegetable oil. Mix the liquid ingredients into the whole wheat flour mixture to make a smooth batter, and gently fold in blueberries. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them to the top.
Combine brown sugar with 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a bowl and spoon the mixture onto the muffins, if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.
