Hello! Good morning everyone!

Hope every body has had a great and productive week. Today’s recipe is delicious blueberry muffins! perfect for any occasion (birthday parties, dessert, snacks or take them to a picnic, as I did).

It is a very easy recipe, takes about 30 or 35 minutes in total, and yields 12 muffins (if you use a 12 cupcake tin, if you use a larger one probably you will get less units. So lets start!

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups (195 grams) all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated sugar, plus 1 tablespoon for muffin tops (this last one is optional)
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/3 cup (80 ml) vegetable oil
• 1 large egg
• 1/3 – 1/2 cup (80 ml – 120 ml) milk; dairy and non-dairy as you prefer
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 6 to 8 ounces fresh or frozen blueberries

Directions

1. Pre heat oven to 400 degrees F and line muffin cups, depending if you’re trying to make big-topped muffins, standard-size muffins or mini muffins.
2. Whisk the flour, sugar (3/4 cups), baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.

   

3. Add oil to a measuring jug that holds at least 1 cup. Add the egg then fill the jug to the 1-cup line with milk (1/3 to 1/2 cup milk). Add vanilla and whisk to combine.
4. Add milk mixture to the bowl with dry ingredients and combine (using a fork). Do not over mix. (The muffin batter will be quite thick). Fold in the blueberries. 
5. Divide the batter between muffin cups.
6. Mix sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle some on top of each muffin, to add a final touch (you can skip this step if you want).
7. Bake muffins 15 to 20 minutes or until tops are no longer wet and a toothpick inserted into the middle of a muffin comes out with crumbs, not wet batter. Transfer to a cooling rack.

   

To store, place them in a plastic bag, seal, and store at room temperature for 2 to 3 days. To freeze, wrap them tightly in aluminum foil or place them in freezer bags. Freeze for up to 3 months, but they are surely better fresh.

Have a great weekend everyone!!! Have a picnic! haha
