Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup fresh blueberries
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon white sugar (organic for vegan-friendly)
1/2 cup 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/2 cup milk (room temperature)
2 eggs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cups plus 1 tablespoon sugar (divided)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups fresh blueberries

Steps:

  • Add all of the ingredients to a microwave safe container. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then remove the container from the microwave and use the back of a spoon to break apart any blueberries that are still whole. Cover and refrigerate the sauce until well chilled.
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with liners or coat with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of your stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, milk, eggs, basil and lemon zest on medium speed until well combined, about 2-3 minutes. With your mixer on low, slowly add in the flour, 3/4 cups of the sugar, baking powder and salt, beating until the dry ingredients are just incorporated. Fold in the blueberries.
  • Scoop the muffin batter into your prepared muffin tin, dividing the batter evenly between the 12 cups. Add a small amount of the sauce to the center of each muffin, using about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of the sauce for each muffin, pushing it down as far as you can into the batter. Sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of sugar over the tops of the muffins.
  • Transfer the muffin tin to your pre-heated oven and bake for 25-28 minutes. The tops of the muffins should be slightly brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean. Remove from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in their tin for 5-10 minutes. Then remove the muffins from their tin and transfer them to a wire rack to continue cooling.
  • Once fully cooled, the muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

LEMON BASIL BLUEBERRY MUFFINS



Lemon Basil Blueberry Muffins image

From The Herb Society of America: This is a wonderfully delicious and fragrant muffin; it is sweet like cake. The addition of blue corn is fun and tasty - gives a bit of added texture and the corn is sweet. If you aren't familiar with blue cornmeal, try it and you will find its earthy taste is good in cornbread, muffins, and blue corn pancakes. You can use yellow or white cornmeal if you don't have the blue. Use a combination of lemon and cinnamon basil for the fragrance and flavor; the citrus and the spice go well with the blueberries. However, if you don't have both basils, either one can be used on its own and still make a tasty muffin.

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 45m

Yield 12 Muffins

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 2/3 cups unbleached flour
1/3 cup blue cornmeal
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1 generous cup blueberries
1 cup milk
2 extra large eggs
1/4 cup minced basil leaves (lemon and or or cinnamon)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F Use a little of the butter melted for the recipe to lightly brush the muffin tin. Set aside the remaining butter to cool.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, sugars, and nutmeg and toss well. Rinse the blueberries, pick over them, and drain well. Put them in a small bowl and toss them with 1 tablespoon of the flour mixture to coat them.
  • In a small bowl, lightly beat the eggs with a fork or a whisk, add the milk, and blend well. Stir in the melted butter and minced basil. Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir to barely combine. Add the blueberries, folding them in gently, until they are just incorporated into the batter. Do not overmix.
  • Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin tins filling them about two-thirds full. Place in the middle of a hot oven and bake for about 20 minutes, until just golden brown, or a tester comes out clean. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes or so, loosen with a metal spatula and cool on baking racks or eat them warm.

Tips:

  • Fresh is best: For the best flavor, use fresh blueberries, lime zest, and basil. If you're using frozen blueberries, thaw them completely before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups evenly: This will help ensure that the muffins bake evenly.
  • Don't open the oven door while the muffins are baking: This can cause the muffins to fall.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

These blueberry-lime-and-basil muffins are a delicious and refreshing treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you're looking for a quick breakfast or a sweet snack, these muffins are sure to hit the spot.
