Yesterday I made a batch of blueberry muffins for my husband to enjoy. It has been 10 weeks since I have made him anything from scratch, and since I was feeling pretty good, I decided to try it.
These were the BEST blueberry muffins that I have ever made! I made 6 Texas sized muffins for him and I used the remainder of the batter to make a little blueberry loaf for my neighbors to enjoy as well.
Here is the recipe. So easy to make and so delicious to eat!
Mrs. Fink's Best Blueberry Muffins Ever
1/2 cup softened butter
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 - 2 cups of fresh blueberries (frozen will work if that is all you have)
2 1/4 cups of flour*
1/2 cup milk
*use can use whole wheat flour, all purpose flour or my favorite combination of oat & all purpose flour ~ I make this by grinding 2 cups of oats in my blender and then adding 1 cup of all purpose flour to it. makes such a light and healthy muffin, you will love it!
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease 12 muffins cups or one loaf pan (if you want to make it as a bread).
In a mixing bowl beat the butter and sugar together, add the eggs and beat until fluffy. Beat in vanilla, baking powder and salt. With a spoon or spatula, fold in half the flour and half the milk. Repeat. Fold in blueberries.
Spoon into muffins cups or bread tin. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar if you like. Bake muffins for 25 minutes and bread for about 50 minutes. If you are making mini bread loaves, bake for about 35 minutes.
I glaze mine with a mixture of powdered sugar and orange juice ~ put 2 cups of powdered sugar in a bowl and then add just enough orange juice to make a thick glaze.
These are delicious and special enough to share as gifts ~ Enjoy!
