Blueberry “Muffles”

I recently attempted to make a healthy version of blueberry muffins.  Blueberries are in season and on sale at our local market so I had quite a few.  Kidster isn’t a fan of blueberries by themselves so I figured I could bake them into muffins and she would eat them.  I used this Blueberry Muffin recipe with a few changes.  The muffins were not that great.  They didn’t go to waste but they weren’t super yummy.  My best friend Hetr ate a few when she came to visit but I’m sure it’s because she was just hungry!

Here is what you will need:

• 2 cups sifted, all-purpose flour (I used a cup of flour and a cup of milled oats, I sifted the oats but put the big pieces in anyway, mistake.)
• 4 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 cup sugar (I used honey instead, the muffins browned really fast!)
• 1/4 cup soft butter or margarine (I used Trader Joe’s coconut oil, the muffins had a distinct coconut flavor…not sooo bad but not great)
• 1 medium egg, lightly beaten
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup fresh blueberries

I made the muffins as directed and had a bit of batter leftover.

I used my tablespoon cookie scoop to make four little muffles.

 

 

 

 

 

Pretty, good for you and delicious!

 

 

 

Kidster loved them and even asked for more!

So the next time you’re making muffins and have a bit leftover, toss it into the waffle iron and you’ll have muffles!

What’s YOUR favorite fruit muffin?
