Preparation

What You Need

2 cups (500 ml) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (125 ml) sugar
2 tsp (10 ml) baking powder
1 tsp (5 ml) cinnamon
1/2 tsp (2 ml) baking soda
1/4 tsp (1 ml) salt
2 eggs
1 cup (250 ml) milk
1/4 cup (60 ml) butter, melted
Grated rind of 1 lemon or
orange
1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
1 cup (250 ml) frozen blueberries or
fresh blueberries

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 °F (190 °C). Lightly butter or spray 12 muffin pan; set aside.

In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. In separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, butter, rind and vanilla extract; pour over dry ingredients and stir just until moistened. Gently stir in blueberries.

Spoon into prepared pan. Bake for 20 to 25 min or until tops are firm to the touch.


Tips

If using frozen blueberries, keep them in the freezer until the last minute to prevent any juice from thawed berries turning the batter blue.

Healthy Eating Tip: Go for blue- One serving of blueberries (1/2 cup/125 mL) provides just over 2 grams of fibre and is a source of Vitamin C.
