Blueberry Muffin

Yes, whole-grain blueberry muffins. They are delicious! And they really isn’t any significantly difference from a regular muffin. No nutty or tannic bite or strong wheat flavor. Just a lovely, homemade blueberry muffin.

The recipe is below.

Blueberry Muffins

  • 1-1/2 cup King Arthur White Whole Wheat Flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Grease or line muffin tin.
  2. Combine sifted flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a mixing bowl.
  3. In another small bowl, lightly beat the egg for a few seconds, and add the milk and oil. Stir to blend.
  4. Make a well in the flour mixture and pour in the egg-milk mixture. Stir until the flour is just moistened. Do not over mix!
  5. Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful no mix as little as possible.
  6. Spoon batter into muffin tins to fill cups about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Variation: Mix the blueberries with 1/2 tablespoon of lemon zest before adding them to the muffin batter.  You can also glaze the tops with a little melted butter and granulated sugar.

You can get the King Arthur White Whole Wheat Flour from the King Arthur website, but some groceries carry it, too.  It’s made with a white spring wheat rather than the red wheat traditionally used for whole wheat flour.  The result is a flour that’s quite like regular unbleached white flour, but still retains the fiber of the whole grain.
