I should have posted this recipe yesterday (since it was the first Monday of the month) but totally forgot!
On Sunday the Mister and I headed out for a scenic drive and berry picking. It's the height of blueberry season right now and they are one of my favorite fruits so I knew my sweet treat of the month would have to use them.
These muffins absolutely explode with juicy blueberries. Seriously the flour to blueberry ratio is almost equal. The secret is a super thick batter that holds more berries than a normal muffin batter would. And although I use barely any oil then stay nice and moist because of all that fruit.
Here's what you'll need to make them:
1 1/5 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup applesauce
1 egg
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/3 cup milk (I use 2%)
1/3 cup quick cooking or instant oats (use slightly more than half in batter, reserve the rest)
zest from a small lemon
1 1/4 cups fresh blueberries
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. This is a simple one bowl recipe so add all the ingredients, except berries and reserved oats, into a mixing bowl and stir until incorporated (don't over-mix or the muffins will be tough).
The batter should be super thick- it's right between a drop biscuit dough and a normal muffin batter. (You should be able to hold the spoon upside down for a few seconds before the batter falls off the spoon- see this is me with my upside down spoon.)
If your batter seems too dry you can always add a little more milk.
Once the batter comes together fold in the berries.
Spray a muffin pan with non-stick spray and spoon in the batter.
Sprinkle the top of each muffin with the rest of the oats. Bake at 375 until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffin comes out clean. (For six large muffins I baked these about 25 min.)
Makes 6 large muffins, 12 regular sized, 24 minis or 1 loaf pan.
Yuuuuum look at all those blueberries!

Gorgeous! This is my first "pin" in food category. They look so good and remind me of the fresh blueberry muffins I would eat every day while vacationing on Cape Cod as a kid! McCormack's was the name of the restaurant....
ReplyDeleteThanks Jane, I can't tell you how pleased I am that these brought back a childhood memory for you! For some reason I think there's something very New England feeling about blueberries. I know Maine takes the prize for the blueberry state and Mass is supposed to be cranberry (and that most other states have wild blueberries too) but they still feel very "homey" to me.
ReplyDeleteOn Sunday the Mister and I took off for a beautiful drive and berry picking. It's the tallness of blueberry season this moment and they are one of my beloved organic products so I knew my sweet treat of the month would need to utilize them.

Combining the act of eating muffins with wearing Fur Men Jacketsmay also be seen as a clash of different ideas. Muffins are often associated with comfort, wholesomeness, and natural ingredients, while fur jackets can be perceived as luxurious and sometimes controversial.
