Blueberry muffins.

Warm blueberry muffin and a cup of coffee or tea in the morning is heaven.

Let's start our day off with these flavorful blueberry muffins. I normally measure all dry ingredients and put them together at night. It will become my muffin instant mix the next morning.

Now, there are many sizes and shapes of muffin pan available in the market. I don't even know which size is considered a standard size muffin cups. I prefer to use paper cups which are easy to clean up and they are also beautiful to look at.

I don't make picture perfect blueberry muffins because I always fill the batter until full cup. I think the blueberry juice that oozes out along the cup makes it more tempting. Well, it's just a personal preference.

We can make it as healthy as we want...use wholewheat flour, add oat meal, add fresh fruits, add nuts or whatever we can imagine. Today I prefer just a simple but moist and flavorful muffin...so I use only fresh blueberries, but lots of blueberries. Look at them...they are oozing out!

How to resist?


Would you like to try some at home, here is the recipe.

Blueberry Muffin.

100 g all purpose flour
80 g cake flour
50 g white sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 1/4 tsps baking powder
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2/3 cup buttermilk
1 egg
200 g fresh blueberries

1.Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare muffin cups.
2.Sift all dry ingredients together and take about 1-2 tbsps of this flour mixture to mix with blueberries in a separate bowl and set aside.
3.Make a well at the center flour mixture and set aside.
4.Mix together oil, buttermilk and egg in separate bowl and then pour into the well of flour mixture, mix just combined.
6. Fold in blueberries and mix with spatula.Do not overmix.
7. Fill the batter into prepared muffin cups about 3/4 cupful for pretty muffin or until full if you want it to ooze out like mine.
8. Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 mins, depends on your oven.

Note:
1. The amount of sugar depends on the quality of your blueberries.
2. Don't try to increase the amount of blueberries, this is the maximum amount that yields a perfect bluberry muffin in my opinion. I 've made this muffins many times with more or less amount, but this amount is just perfect.

Then sit back, relax and enjoy your warm bluberry muffins.
Have a wonderful day.
