Good Morning Blueberry Muffins

I have been making a few small adjustments to my standard muffin recipe lately and this morning's were super tasty especially when hot out of the oven!

If you want fresh hot muffins with minimal morning effort, do like I did and mix your dry ingredients the night before so they are ready and waiting for you.

Ingredients

Dry

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 7/8 cup white flour (AKA a little less than a cup)
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup white sugar (or more or less, to your taste) 
  • dash of nutmeg
  • dash of cinnamon
  • a good handful of quick-cooking oats

Wet 

  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter

Other

  • A goodly quantity of fruit - blueberries if you want you the muffins to be blueberry, but you could also use diced apples or other berries or even raisins if you were really stuck

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400F
  2. Grease/prepare your muffin tins
  3. Mix dry ingredients in a largish bowl
  4. Prepare the fruit (in the case of frozen blueberries there's not much to this!)
  5. Prepare and mix wet ingredients in a separate vessel (eg. pyrex measuring cup)
  6. Particularly if you're using blueberries, toss the fruit in the dry ingredients to coat so they don't turn the batter purple
  7. Add wet ingredients to dry and fold in carefully, mixing just enough that the flour is incorporated but don't over stir!
  8. Bake about 15-17 minutes
  9. Enjoy!
