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
Muffins:
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.
Crumble topping:
1 Tbl. flour 1/3 cup sugar 1/8 tsp pumpkin spice 2 Tbl. butter 2 tsp. finely chopped pecans Mix ingredients with a fork until combined
Directions
Make sour milk if you don’t have buttermilk. Sift together all dry ingredients Whisk together all wet ingredients in separate bowl Add blueberries to dry ingredients and mix until coated. Add wet ingredients to the dry mixture and mix until just combined. Spoon into prepared muffin cups. Top with crumble topping. Bake at 350 for approximately 20 minutes.
