MUFFIN: Simply Blueberry Muffins
Submitted by beachdee on January 17, 2011 at 7:50 pm
The basic blueberry muffin recipe I grew up eating. No idea where mom got the recipe but I believe it was passed down to her from her mom. This recipe is from the days when Sugar Frosted Flakes were considered part of healthy breakfast...so feel free to reduce the sugar or add in some whole grain what-have-you, as I do. Or, just make them as is for occasional tender, sweet treat such as for a special brunch, with tea, etc.
Yield: 12 muffins
Source: Mom
• 1 1/2 cups sifted flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup oil (try walnut, almond, or macadamia nut)
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Beat all ingredients together well. Note: this is what my old recipe card says...standard muffin-making protocol induces me take a more delicate approach to stirring the ingredients together...)
Fold in the blueberries.
Portion into greased tins and bake at 400°F for 20 to 25 minutes, or until lightly browned on top.
