I love experimenting! Woohoo! It's berry season here in Helsinki, and that means fresh blueberries, cherries, strawberries, raspberries, everywhere you look! So, we made muffins with our fresh berries this morning! :)
3/4 c liquid (milk, soymilk, water)
1/4 c oil
1 large egg
1 c whole wheat flour
1 c white flour
1/2 c sugar
1 Tbsp freshly grated lemon peel
1 Tbsp lemon juice (squeezed from the lemon by a little person...that makes it taste better...)
1 1/2 Tbsp poppy seeds
1 Tbsp flax meal (this is, as always, optional)
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 c fresh (or frozen or canned) blueberries
*Make your Streusel topping if you want (see below), and set aside.
*Beat egg, liquid and oil. Add all the remaining ingredients (except blueberries) all at once and whisk by hand with either a wire whisk or a wooden spoon about 10 times! (The batter will be lumpy--if you overmix it, it becomes hard and rubbery instead of light and fluffy!) Fold in your berries. Top with the Streusel Topping, if you wish. Bake at 400F/204C for 20-25 minutes! Yum!
Streusel Topping
1/4 c whole wheat flour
1/4 c packed brown sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
2 Tbsp butter (firm: not melted, not super soft, but not rock hard...)
Mix together with a hand mixer, then sprinkle over muffins before baking.
Fresh wild blueberry picking! :)
