Blueberry Muffins and our Menu Plan

Well, here we are again, another week gone by, just as fast as ever! My week was crazy, busy with the Back to School Giveaway Bonanza.(4 of the giveaways are still open, Hurry!) I hope you all enjoyed it! I did, but am really glad to be back to my regular posting and sharing yummy recipes and my home with you!

I typically share a Main Dish with you and our Menu Plan, but since these Blueberry Muffins go so well with breakfast, I thought you might like them.

I baked them in regular size, plain and some with cinnamon streusel topping, and also some mini size. My youngest, likes them better in the mini size. It’s the exact same recipe, but for some reason, he says they taste different. And of course, I don’t mind baking them different sizes. I have shared these before, but it’s been over a year, so I thought you might like to have the recipe again. Plus, my camera skills have gotten a little better.

Blueberry Muffins Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup flour
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/3 cup oil
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen are fine

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place liners in muffin tins, set aside
  2. Whisk together dry ingredients
  3. Pour oil into 1 cup measuring cup, beat egg and add to cup, fill with enough milk to measure 1 cup, beat until mixed well
  4. Add to dry ingredients
  5. Combine, just until all ingredients are incorporated, don't overmix
  6. Place washed berries in a bowl
  7. Add a pinch of flour
  8. Coat berries with flour, I do this so the berries don't sink to the bottom of the muffin
  9. Add to muffin mixture
  10. Fold berries in gently
  11. Fill liners about 2/3 full. Bake for about 15-20 minutes depending on the size. For the minis, I baked them about 10 minutes.

    Looks like I’ll have to take a trip to Sprouts this week to pick up some fresh blueberries. Frozen berries just doesn’t seem like they would do this recipe justice. This recipe looks simple and delicious, my little girl will have fun baking them. Thanks for always sharing such yummy things.

    My DH just saw the muffin pic and says “Ooooh those look like good Blueberry Muffins”…I tell him they are from the same person that makes the Zucchini cookies, so he says “then they WILL be good” :)

    Just bought a basket of fresh blueberries yesterday so I sure will try this in the AM for Precious Husband who loves blueberries. I know they are one of the best foods you can eat but unfortunately the only fruit I really don’t care for at all. Precious Husband will love them! Thanks.
