Alice’s Blueberry Muffins

I love blueberry muffins. I don’t know if it’s possible to love them too much but nevertheless, nothing beats homemade blueberry muffins – wouldn’t you agree?  Last Thursday my baby boy, Eli, turned two years old. Because we had just returned from a week long trip days before his birthday, we decided not to have a birthday party. Instead, I made these yummy blueberry muffins for his birthday and stuck a candle in it.

What I love about blueberry muffins is the denser texture and how less sweet they are compared to cake.  I used frozen blueberries and all the other ingredients I typically have on hand.  I love spreading a little pat of butter on them before biting into it with bursts of sweetened berries to savor.  This recipe also has a little bit of lemon zest and juice.  The lemon flavor is subtle but enough to compliment the blueberries in the most delightful way.  I also add a little bit of turbinado (raw sugar) on top of each muffin before baking for a nice little crunch.  You could easily substitute white sugar crystals.

We’re trying to eat a little healthier around here and today I baked my favorite bran muffins.  It’s been awhile since I last baked these lovely muffins but after taking one bite I was instantly reminded why I love them so much.  Each muffin is full of healthy goodness without compromising texture or flavor.  Filled with oat bran, whole wheat flour, ground flax seed, carrots, raisins, nuts, and apple sauce, these muffins are not only good for you, kids love them!  [click to continue…]
