Blueberries

These Blueberry muffins are to die for!  I share a baking secret that will make everyone ask you for your baked goods recipes no matter what kind of bread or muffin you cook!

Ingredients

2 cups flour (I use whole wheat white from King Arthur)
2 tsp. baking powder
1 cup sour milk* OR buttermilk
2 eggs
1/4 tsp. salt
1/3 cup canola oil
2 Tbl. ground flax
1/2 tsp. pumpkin spice mix (this is just a combination of cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and ginger)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2/3 cup sugar
2 cups blueberries, frozen or fresh

*Sour milk, buttermilk, plain yogurt, or sour cream are the BEST ingredients to add to any non-yeast bread/muffin/cake/etc.  It adds moisture and a rich texture.

To make sour milk: in a small bowl, add 1 Tablespoon lemon juice – OR – white vinegar to 1 cup milk.  Let stand 5-10 min. before adding it to the rest of the ingredients*
