Moist Blueberry Muffins

Blueberries are in season! S$10 for 4 punnets. Very good deal and the berries are very plump and juicy too. What best to do with 4 punnets than using it for muffins.


When I told boys mummy baking Blueberry Muffins, they were happy! Zach even took 2 muffins to school today I am lazy to use my beater not that I have to wash them but just feeling bleah. You know.. I get these moments more lately. Hate it.. been slacking.

I used recipe from Sally's Baking Addiction. Very good muffin and naturally I reduced the sugar by almost half. It is also very easy to bake. Less than an hour including baking and you get moist muffins.

Banana flavored milk


Moist Blueberry Muffins (makes 6 medium sized muffins) - recipe adapted from here
*I have tweaked the recipe slightly to suit my taste and ingredients availability

1 1/2 cup cake flour (I used cake flour instead)
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg, room temperature
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup banana milk (I used the famous Korean brand banana milk)
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 punnets of blueberries
some coarse sugar for sprinkling (optional)

How?
- Preheat oven to 210C and line muffin pan with cupcake liners
- Whisk all the dry ingredients; flour, baking powder and salt
- In a separate bowl, whisk egg and sugar until combined.
- Add in the remaining wet ingredients; coconut oil, milk & vanilla extract
- Create a well in the flour and pour the wet mixture into the flour.

This is the part where we need to be careful not to overmix. You want moist and soft muffins and not dense.

- Mix until no visible pockets of flour can be seen.
- Add in blueberries and give it a few quick stir
- Pour batter into prepared tin, sprinkle coarse sugar on top.
- Bake at 210C for 5 minutes before lowering temperature to 180C and bake for additional 20 minutes

Try it.. definitely a keeper!


Chocolate Chips Muffins

This recipe is a keeper! I was blog-hopping yesterday and chanced upon this particular recipe from Chunky Cooky.
As from the header of her recipe, it states Fuss-Free and indeed she is right! All I need is 10 minutes of preparation and 15 minutes of baking. No mess on my kitchen counter since only 2 bowls are needed for this muffins.

Chocolate Chips Muffins
(recipe adapted from Chunky Cooky and I've made some slight modifications)

112g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tbsp cocoa powder (I used Valhorna cocoa powder which explains the color of my cuppies)
84g sugar (I reduced to 70g since I am not a fan of overly sweet cakes)
70g chocolate chips
120ml chocolate milk
45ml vegetable oil (I used corn oil)
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

How?
- Pre-heat oven to 200 degree. Line your muffin pan.
- Mix all dry ingredients together in a bowl (plain flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda)
- In a separate bowl, mix milk, oil, egg and vanilla extract together. Add in sugar and chocolate chips.
- Sieve in the dry ingredients on top. Mix quickly and lightly.
- Using an ice cream scoop, put a scoop of batter into prepared cups up till 3/4 full. Sprinkle the top generously with chocolate chips
- Bake for 15 minutes or until well-risen. Mine formed a very nice dome. Cool in wire racks.
