blueberry muffins

Ok, so muffins are usually notorious for being extremely delicious but also extremely fatty. BUT! with this recipe you can have the best of both worlds :D

This recipe also came with an adventure! So Melody didn't go to school today so I had to entertain her. We went on a walk and after our walk...we baked! Except we didn't have muffin holders so we made a loaf of blueberry bread instead.

Ingredients:

• 1.5 cups of flour


• 1 teaspoon of baking soda


• 2 teaspoons of baking powder


• a pinch of salt


• 3/4 cup of sugar


• 1/4 cup of vegetable oil


• 1 egg


• 4/3 cup of blueberry flavored yogurt (2 6-oz containers...we used yoplait)


• 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans or chocolate chips or all of those!

Procedure:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F


2. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.


3. In another large bowl, whisk together the sugar, oil, egg, and yogurt.


4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.


5. Fold mixture 10 times. AND ONLY 10 TIMES!!


6. Add the nuts/chocolate chips/both to the mixture and fold 3 more times. It'll look like flour-y mush but that's correct! RESIST THE URGE TO MIX ANYMORE!


7. Pour batter 2/3 full into greased muffin pans.


8. Bake for 20-30 minutes until golden brown on top and until it aces the toothpick test.

3. Bake for 45 minutes.
