Day 12 - Classic Blueberry Muffins

Sunday, January 23, 2011

This Sunday I decided to try out a muffin recipe. I started with the classic, blueberry muffin [who doesn't like that?!]. The batter was a basic muffin batter with all of the expected ingredients [flour, sugar, eggs, butter, baking powder, salt and of course blueberries] and each muffin was topped with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar. The recipe was actually called "Double Blueberry Muffins" because you smash 3/4 of the blueberries with a fork and mix them into the batter and then fold in the rest of the blueberries at the end so they stay whole - this makes for an exceptional blueberry muffin with a variety of textures.

Finished product!

The muffins came out delicious. They weren't too sweet and the cinnamon sugar made for a nice crunchy topping. The blueberry flavor pops in your mouth as you take a bite making for the perfect, breakfast or snack [especially with a glass of cold milk!].

Part 2 of Muffins is coming next week with a Coffee Cake muffin. Stay tuned…
