VEGAN BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350ºF.
• In a small bowl, cover the chopped dates with the non-dairy milk and set aside (so the dates may soften).
• Grind oats and millet into a flour in your blender (a high-speed blender will do a finer job) and place into a mixing bowl. Add the baking powder and cardamom to this and stir with a fork.
• Place the dates and non-dairy milk into a blender and blend until smooth. Add this date mixture to the bowl of dry ingredients along with the applesauce and lemon zest, and mix with a spoon until all the dry ingredients have disappeared.
• Gently fold in the blueberries and chopped walnuts. Spoon the batter into a silicone muffin pan or parchment muffin papers in a metal pan, filling each muffin cup about ¾ full. (Since the batter has no oil, I have found that regular cupcake papers tend to stick to the muffins).
• Bake for 30 minutes. The muffins will be done when the tops have begun to brown and cracks appear, and when a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for at least 15 to 20 minutes before removing. Notes Blueberries tend to sink into the batter during cooking, so I like to push a few blueberries into the top of each muffin just before baking (make sure they're pushed in though, or they will roll off during rising). If you've never used cardamom, I urge you to seek some out. Cardamom is a wonderfully aromatic spice used in India and in South Asian cooking. You can buy it pre-ground or in seed form, but I like to buy the seeds and ground them myself since this results a bigger flavor and aroma. Cardamom can be found wherever spices are sold. If you do not have cardamom, substitute with 1-½ teaspoons cinnamon.

LEMON, BLUEBERRY AND MILLET MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375˚F (190˚C). In a large bowl, combine all-purpose, whole-wheat flour, millet, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together egg, sugar, yogurt, canola oil, lemon juice and lemon zest. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, whisk together to combine. Gently fold in blueberries. Pour batter into 16 non-stick or paper lined muffin cups. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes or until cooked through (when a knife inserted in the centre comes out clean). Serves 16.

THE BEST BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Whisk together 2 1/2 cups of the flour and the baking powder in a medium bowl until completely combined. Toss 1 1/2 cups of the blueberries with the remaining 2 tablespoons flour in a medium bowl until completely coated. Whisk together the buttermilk, sour cream, vanilla and salt in a large measuring cup until smooth.
• Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Spray the top of a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray and line with standard cupcake liners. (It's important to spray the top of the pan because the muffin tops will stick to the pan if you don't.)
• Beat the butter, granulated sugar and lemon zest with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, occasionally scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the egg and yolks and continue beating until fully incorporated, about 2 minutes.
• With the mixer on low, add the dry ingredients in 3 additions, alternating with the wet ingredients in 2 additions, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Fold in the blueberries until evenly distributed (be careful not to overmix).
• Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups with a heaping 1/3 cup per muffin. Top the batter with the remaining 1/2 cup blueberries, gently pressing to adhere (you should have 4 to 5 berries per muffin). Sprinkle with the raw sugar.
• Bake the muffins, rotating the pan halfway through, until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then remove the muffins onto the wire rack to cool completely.

BLUEBERRY MILLET MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a muffin pan with 12 muffin liners.
• In a small bowl, combine the rice milk and lemon juice and set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine 1 cup of the sugar and the egg replacer, mixing on medium speed for about 20 seconds.
• Add the rice milk mixture, vanilla, canola oil, and lemon zest. Mix for 30 seconds.
• In a separate bowl, combine the flour mix, millet flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until just combined, about 20 seconds.
• Turn off the mixer and fold in the blueberries.
• Fill the liners to the rim with batter. Spoon 1 teaspoon of blueberry jam onto the top of each muffin, pushing it into the center slightly. Use a chopstick or skewer to swirl the jam into the muffins. Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with the remaining 2 teaspoons sugar.
• Bake in the center of the oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a lovely golden on top, rotating the pan halfway through. Transfer the muffins to a cooling rack.

BLUEBERRY BUTTERMILK MUFFINS

Steps:

• Sift dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
• In another bowl, whisk eggs, buttermilk and butter that has been melted and browned slightly.

• Fold in blueberries.
• Spoon batter into greased muffin cups and bake till golden brown.
• Bake at 400 F for 20 -30 minutes.

EASY BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases. Beat the butter and caster sugar together until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs and beat in for 1 min, then mix in the yogurt, vanilla extract and milk. Combine the flour, baking powder and bicarb in a bowl with ¼ tsp fine salt, then tip this into the wet ingredients and stir in. Finally, fold in the blueberries and divide the mixture between the muffin cases.
• Bake for 5 mins, then reduce oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and bake for 15-18 mins more until risen and golden, and a cocktail stick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
• Cool in the tin for 10 mins, then carefully lift out onto a wire rack to finish cooling. Will keep for 3-4 days in an airtight container - after a day or two, pop them in the microwave for 10-15 secs on high to freshen up.

TO DIE FOR BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease muffin cups or line with muffin liners.
• Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 3/4 cup sugar, salt and baking powder. Place vegetable oil into a 1 cup measuring cup; add the egg and add enough milk to reach the 1-cup mark. Mix this with flour mixture. Fold in blueberries. Fill muffin cups right to the top, and sprinkle with crumb topping mixture.
• To Make Crumb Topping: Mix together 1/2 cup sugar, 1/3 cup flour, 1/4 cup butter, and 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon. Mix with fork, and sprinkle over muffins before baking.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until done.
