Kid-approved Blueberry Muffins


Ever have leftover Costco blueberries? Try this simple recipe for homemade muffins. 


Start by mixing the dry ingredients: 1 1/2 c flour, 3/4 c white sugar, 1/2 tsp salt, and 2 tsp baking powder. 


Here's where I didn't follow the recipe.  I added 1/3 c vegetable oil, 1/3 c milk, and 1 egg.  After mixing with the dry ingredients, my batter was too thick so I slowly added more milk until it was a better consistency.  Lesson learned.  


Add the fresh blueberries.  I used way more than one cup, but I like excess. ;)  I skipped the topping from the recipe.  It sounds super yummy, but I wanted to cut down on the sugar.  Okay, not true.  Yeah, it was my husband that nixed the topping.  Bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean. 


These muffins are HUGE!  I waited for them to cool before removing.


These from scratch muffins turned out awesome!  And instead of blueberries, you could probably substitute a number of other ingredients.  I'm thinking leftover chocolate chips...
