Blueberry Muffins

[columbusmomma]

Can someone share a yummy,moist recipe please? I'm tired of the one I currently use...seems not so flavorful!

[gmvh]

The one we make:

2 eggs
1/2 cup oil
splash vanilla
1/2-1 cup brown sugar
2 cups flour (I use 1/2 cup oats, 1/2 graham/wheat flour, 1 cup white)
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1-1.5 cups frozen blueberries

Personally, I layer everything so the wet ingredients are on the bottom, then the dry, and then the blueberries so I can gently stir the blueberries into the dry ingredients before mixing the whole bowl up. I bake them at 350˚ until they smell done.

I like this one that I make. If you don't have buttermilk, plain yogurt works just as well. And if you use whole-milk yogurt/buttermilk, they'll be really rich. If you use sweetened vanilla yogurt, use less sugar, and leave out the vanilla.)

2 1/2 cups flour (I use half whole-wheat, and half pastry flour)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 to 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/3 cups buttermilk (or yogurt)
1/3 cup liquid fat (I use melted butter. If you use vegetable oils, those will work, too.)
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup fruit (blueberries, in your case!)

I just made the best blueberry muffins from ExtraVeganZa -- they're made with lavender and lemon and are amazing.

1 whole whole wheat flour
1 cup whole wheat pastry or unbleached white flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
1 cup soy or rice milk
1/2 cup lemon juice
3 tbsp lemon rind
1 tbsp. dried lavender flowers
1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen

Oil 12 muffin tins. Preheat oven to 350.

Sift dry ingredients. Whisk oil through lemon rind. Stir wet and dry together. Fold in lavender and berries. Fill tins 3/4 high and bake 30 mins. Cool about 10 mins before taking out of pans.

Ohh, these all sound so good. I have about 10lbs of frozen raspberries to work through and I am going on a baking spree today. I'll definitely be trying these out. Thanks ladies!

Blueberry Muffins

2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp. Baking soda
¼ cup brown sugar or honey
1 tsp. Cinnamon
½ tsp. Salt
1 egg, beaten
1 cup buttermilk, or sour milk
3 TBSP. Oil or melted butter
1 cup blueberries

Mix all dry ingredients thoroughly. Add beaten egg, milk, oil and blueberries. Mix only until dry ingredients are moist. Grease muffin pans and fill half full baking in 375 degree oven for about 15 minutes.

Check to see if done by inserting toothpick in middle, if dough sticks to toothpick it needs to cook more.

I've tried tons of recipes for blueberry muffins and this is by far the best one!! I have subbed ww flour for part of the white (less than 1/2), used applesauce for the oil, used coconut oil for the oil, added some lemon zest, left off the topping and just sprinkled cinnamon sugar on top, mixed nuts or oatmeal in the topping. Also, if you want a yummy moist muffin, don't overmix the batter. Just mix until everything is combined.

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1 t vanilla
1/3 cup milk
1-2 cups blueberries (I always use frozen, but fresh would work just fine)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup butter, cubed
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease muffin cups or line with muffin liners.
2. Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 cup sugar, salt, baking powder. Fold in blueberries. Place vegetable oil into a 1 cup measuring cup; add the egg, vanilla, and enough milk to fill the cup (so you have total 1c of liquid ingredients. . .this is important). Mix this with flour mixture. It will be thick!! Fill muffin cups right to the top, and sprinkle with crumb topping mixture.

To Make Crumb Topping: Mix together 1/2 cup brown 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

Thanks for all the great recipes! ::

We make TONS of muffins around here and my very favorite blueberry muffin recipe is from The Garden of Vegan - it is just called Blueberry Muffins (p. 179). It is made with oats and for the flour, I tend to use oat flour. We love this one so much that we use the same recipe for strawberry muffins, etc. Also, I'm not vegan. While we normally make this recipe the vegan way, I have also used egg (instead of an egg replacer) etc. Never had an issue - it is a super-versatile recipe.

I'm pretty darn sure I can't put the recipe on here - but if you PM me - ? Not sure how that works but happy to share unless I get reprimanded .

As far as I understand, the copyright rule for recipes is you can post a recipe from a book as long as you 1) mention the book it came from; and 2) you have to put the instructions in your own words.

OK... here goes! I love these - SO MOIST and super yummy!

Blueberry Muffins from The Garden of Vegan:

1 cup soy milk (I use almond milk mostly, I don't use soy ever)
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup flour (I use oat flour or whatever I have on hand)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
egg replacer, equal to 1 egg (I usually use an egg... otherwise applesauce or banana)
1/4 cup olive oil (I've also used safflower)
1/2 cup dry sweetener (whatever sugar/substitute you use)
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (we use blueberries, strawberries, mix, whatever we have - 1 cup of whatever!)

And how I do it:
Preheat oven to 400. Combine the milk and oats and let them sit/soak for 10 minutes. In another bowl, blend flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir in egg, oil, sugar/sweetener, and the oat mixture. Gently add the blueberries/strawberries. Use a lightly oiled muffin tin and bake for 20-25 min until done.
I use a regular muffin pan (standard size) - sometimes it takes around 30 min to get a toothpick to come out clean.

These are my favorite and the recipe is easy enough to tweak to your liking - it is very tolerant of change. My next experiment is to use honey as the sweetener.....

Hope you like them!
