Preparation
What You Need
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter a 12-cup nonstick muffin pan or line with paper liners.
In a 2-cup (500 mL) liquid measuring cup, combine Milk, orange zest and enough juice to measure 1-1/2 cups (375 mL) (add more Milk if necessary). In a large bowl, combine all-purpose and whole wheat flours, baking powder, ginger, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, whisk together Milk mixture, sugar, egg and butter. Stir blueberries into dry ingredients just until coated. Pour Milk mixture over dry ingredients and stir just until moistened.
Spoon into prepared muffin pan. Bake for 20 to 30 min (see Cooking Tip below) or until tops are firm to the touch. Let cool in pan for 5 min. Transfer to rack to cool completely.
Tips
If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw before adding to the dry ingredients to reduce bleeding of the colour. The baking time will be in the higher range.
For the Adventurous: Use halved fresh blackberries in place of some or all of the blueberries. Add 1/2 tsp (2 mL) almond extract with Milk.

I made these and they turned out great, no problem with wet to dry ingredient ratio. Wonder if other readers used 1/4 cup of milk instead of 1&1/4 cups?
When I made these my daughter wanted chocolate chip muffins so I put chocolate chips in half the batter and 1 cup of blueberries in the other half. I liked the chocolate chip even better than the blueberry. The mix of orange and chocolate was really good. -

We followed it exactly as well. We tried adding more milk and juice but found it too dry.

There must be a mistake in this recipe - I followed it exactly, but the ratio of dry ingredients to wet is way off. I couldn't even mix/blend it in the last step because the batter was so dry. I added some more milk & OJ, just to be able to blend it, but the muffins still came out pretty tasteless and very dry.
