Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 3/4 cups plus 1 teaspoon white whole wheat flour or regular whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
1/3 cup melted coconut oil or extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
2 eggs, preferably at room temperature
1 cup plain Greek yogurt*
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup (6 ounces) blueberries, fresh or frozen
1 tablespoon turbinado sugar (also called raw sugar), for sprinkling on top

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. If necessary, grease all 12 cups on your muffin tin with butter, coconut oil or cooking spray (my pan is non-stick and doesn't require any grease).
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 3/4 cups of the flour with the baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Mix them together with a whisk.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the oil and honey or maple syrup and beat together with a whisk. Add the eggs and beat well, then add the yogurt and vanilla. Mix well. (If the coconut oil solidifies in contact with cold ingredients, gently warm the mixture in the microwave in 30 second bursts.)
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix with a big spoon, just until combined (a few lumps are ok). In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with the remaining 1 teaspoon flour (this helps prevent the blueberries from sinking to the bottom). Gently fold the blueberries into the batter. The mixture will be thick, but don't worry.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin cups (I used an ice cream scoop with a wire level, which worked perfectly). Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with turbinado sugar. Bake the muffins for 16 to 19 minutes, or until the muffins are golden on top and a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean.
  • Place the muffin tin on a cooling rack to cool. You might need to run a butter knife along the outer edge of the muffins to loosen them from the pan. If you have leftover muffins, store them, covered, at room temperature for 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Freeze leftover muffins for up to 3 months.

BLUEBERRY NUT MUFFINS

Muffins are a great part of a brunch or tea. These are not too sweet, which lends to the favor of the fruit in this muffin. Sprinkle sugar on top of muffins before baking for a sweeter top.

Time 55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons white sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 cup milk
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 cup blueberries
½ cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups.
  • Stir the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Beat the egg, milk, and oil together in a separate bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture; pour the egg mixture into the well, and stir until the flour mixture is just moistened. Be sure to not over-mix. Fold the blueberries and walnuts into the batter. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups to about 3/4 full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

Tips:

  • To ensure your muffins are perfectly moist and fluffy, make sure not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in dense, dry muffins.
  • For a more intense blueberry flavor, use fresh blueberries instead of frozen. If using frozen blueberries, be sure to thaw them thoroughly before incorporating them into the batter.
  • Feel free to adjust the sweetness of the muffins by adding more or less maple syrup or honey. You can also substitute other natural sweeteners, such as agave nectar or coconut sugar.
  • For a crunchy topping, sprinkle some chopped nuts or seeds on top of the muffins before baking. This will add texture and flavor.
  • Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the muffins for up to 2 months. To reheat, simply thaw the muffins at room temperature or warm them up in the oven.

Conclusion:

These blueberry muffins are a delicious and healthy way to start your day or enjoy as a snack. They are packed with blueberries, which are a good source of antioxidants and fiber. The muffins are also sweetened with maple syrup or honey, which are natural sweeteners that are lower in calories than refined sugar. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying muffin recipe, give these blueberry muffins a try!
