Blueberry Muffins

Recipe from Betty Crocker

You can add anything into the center of the muffin. When I was a child, my mother used to make brown sugar and jam muffins for me because I disliked blueberries. This recipe makes 12 muffins.

Ingredients: 

• 1 egg
• 3/4 cup of 1% milk
• ½ cup of vegetable oil
• 2 cups of all purpose flour or whole wheat flour
• 1/3 cup of sugar 
• 3 teaspoons of baking powder 
• 1 teaspoon of salt 
• Extra sugar for the top – this is my mother’s idea

Directions:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Grease the bottoms with medium muffin cups about 2 ½ inches x 1 ¼ inches.
• Beat the egg and stir in the milk and oil. Stir in the remaining ingredients all at once until flour is moistened. 
• If you are making blueberry muffins add the blueberries to the batter and stir. The batter should be lumpy. 
• Fill muffin cups about ¾ full. Bake until golden brown, which is about 20 minutes. Immediately remove from the muffin pan.
