Apple Butter Blueberry Muffins Whole Wheat Food

HEALTHY BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. If necessary, grease all 12 cups on your muffin tin with butter, coconut oil or cooking spray (my pan is non-stick and doesn't require any grease).
• In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 3/4 cups of the flour with the baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Mix them together with a whisk.
• In a medium mixing bowl, combine the oil and honey or maple syrup and beat together with a whisk. Add the eggs and beat well, then add the yogurt and vanilla. Mix well. (If the coconut oil solidifies in contact with cold ingredients, gently warm the mixture in the microwave in 30 second bursts.)
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix with a big spoon, just until combined (a few lumps are ok). In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with the remaining 1 teaspoon flour (this helps prevent the blueberries from sinking to the bottom). Gently fold the blueberries into the batter. The mixture will be thick, but don't worry.
• Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin cups (I used an ice cream scoop with a wire level, which worked perfectly). Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with turbinado sugar. Bake the muffins for 16 to 19 minutes, or until the muffins are golden on top and a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean.
• Place the muffin tin on a cooling rack to cool. You might need to run a butter knife along the outer edge of the muffins to loosen them from the pan. If you have leftover muffins, store them, covered, at room temperature for 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Freeze leftover muffins for up to 3 months.

BLUEBERRY WHOLE WHEAT MUFFINS

Steps:

• Combine the flour, oats, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a large bowl. Whisk together the vegetable oil, sour cream, brown sugar, lemon zest, vanilla and eggs in another bowl. Fold the sour cream mixture into the flour mixture until just combined, and then fold in the blueberries (don't worry if there are a few lumps).
• Divide evenly among the prepared muffin pan. Sprinkle with oats and turbinado sugar if using. Bake until the muffins are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 24 minutes. Cool in the pan for a few minutes, and then transfer to a rack to cool completely.

WHOLE WHEAT BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

• Sift together remaining flour (1 cup), baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
• Mix oats into dry ingredients.

WHOLE WHEAT-OATMEAL AND BUTTERMILK BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Prepare muffin pans with foils, papers or grease and flour, whichever you prefer. Rinse fresh berries and set to drain.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, oats, powder, soda and salt using a wire whisk or your (clean) fingers.
• In a smaller mixing bowl, beat the eggs, oil, sweetener and buttermilk together well.
• Pour the wet mixture onto the dry mixture, and add the berries. Gently fold the mixture together, being careful not to break the berries and to just wet all the dry ingredients.
• The batter should be fluffy. Fill the wells in the muffin pans very full. If you only do the typical 2/3rds full, you'll need another half muffin pan to accommodate all the batter.
• Bake about 20 minutes at 400 degrees. If using foils or papers, remove the muffins from the pan as soon as you can. We find if we don't, any berry juice that has seeped out and touches the pan becomes like glue when cool.
