The decision to buy 4 lbs of blueberries although I live in a "one person loves to eat blueberries household" was a definite call to action for a little baking time. I tried a new blueberry muffin recipe from Cooking Light and have decided the combination of buttermilk, fresh blueberries and nutmeg make them my favorite so far.Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 1/4 cups low-fat buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup blueberries (I added more like 2 cups, why be stingy??)
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400°.
Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour and next 5 ingredients (flour through nutmeg) in a medium bowl; cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal.
Combine buttermilk, egg, and rind; stir well with a whisk. Add to flour mixture; stir just until moist. Gently fold in blueberries.
Spoon batter into 12 muffin cups coated with cooking spray. Bake at 400° for 20 minutes or until the muffins spring back when lightly touched. Remove muffins from pans immediately, and place on a wire rack to cool.
