Blueberry Muffins

Sometimes I have too much of something, so I look for recipes to use it in. This happened earlier this summer when I bought a ton of blueberries. They were so good, but we just couldn’t eat them fast enough. Of course we all love blueberry muffins, but I had never made them from scratch! So, I found this recipe and they were super easy! I would definitely make them from scratch again!

Blueberry Muffins

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 beaten egg
¾ cup milk
¼ cup cooking oil
¾ cup fresh blueberries

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease twelve 2 ½ inch muffin cups or line with muffin papers. In a medium mixing bowl combine dry ingredients. Make a well in center of dry mixture; set aside.
2. In another mixing bowl combine egg, milk, and oil. Add egg mixture all at once to the dry mixture. Stir just till moistened (batter should be lumpy). Fold in blueberries.
3. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling each 2/3 full. Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden. Cool in muffin cups on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Remove from muffin cups; serve warm. Makes 10 to 12 muffins.

These came out really good for just a basic blueberry muffin like you would get in a mix. The only difference is that you are putting together the “mix” part yourself! And it tastes better when you do the work!
