Blueberry Lemon Muffins Using Whole Grain Flours Recipes

BLUEBERRY WHOLE WHEAT MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with muffin liners.
• 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

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups, or line with paper liners. Whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl.
• Whisk vegetable oil, egg, milk, and applesauce together in a separate bowl until smooth, and stir the liquid ingredients into the flour mixture until moistened. Lightly stir in the blueberries. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them 2/3 full.
• Bake muffins in the preheated oven until they rise and the tops are golden brown, about 20 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin should come out clean.

BLUEBERRY-LEMON MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a 12-muffin tin with cupcake liners and set aside.
• Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg together in a medium bowl; set aside.
• Put the butter in a microwaveable-safe dish or measuring cup. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until melted, about 30 seconds. (Alternatively melt the butter in a saucepan.) Whisk the milk, eggs, lemon zest, and vanilla with the butter.
• Make a small well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour wet ingredients into the well, then stir with a wooden spoon until the dry ingredients are moistened but still lumpy. Do not overmix the batter or your muffins will be dense. Gently stir in the blueberries. Divide the batter evenly into the muffin tin and sprinkle the tops generously with sugar.
• Put the muffins in the oven and immediately reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through the cooking. (Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin to check if it is done. Toothpick should come out clean). Cool muffins in the pan on a rack for a couple minutes. Turn the muffins out of the pan and cool on the rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

BLUEBERRY LEMON MUFFINS (USING WHOLE GRAIN FLOURS)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• 12 cup muffin tin, lightly greased.
• In a large bowl, combine barley and whole wheat flours, sugar, baking powder, lemon zest, baking soda and salt. Mix well and make a well in the center.
• In a separate bowl, beat eggs. Add buttermilk, butter and vanilla and beat well. Pour into the well and mix with dry ingredients just until blended. Fold in blueberries. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups. Bake in preheated oven until tops are golden and spring back when lightly touched, about 16 minutes. If using frozen blueberries, you may need to cook muffins for as long as 25 minutes.
• Let cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before removing from pan.
