Mixing up the usual … these are gloriously delish 🤤

The slight crunch of the cornmeal make a perfect backdrop for blueberries, which burst as they bake, creating pockets of juice that keep the muffins tender. Serve warm with a pat of butter 💥

Ingredients:
3/4 cup milk
1-1/2 cups all purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup and leveled-off
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
2 large eggs
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 stick or 1/2 cup salted butter, melted

Set oven to 350, 325 for convection bake.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Place the blueberries in a small bowl and toss with 1 teaspoon of the flour mixture. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla. Add to the dry ingredients, along with the melted butter. Stir until just blended; and then stir in the blueberries. Do not overmix. The batter comes together in about 5 minutes.

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup very full and please use liners as the blueberries will make everything very sticky. Bake for 28 to 30 minutes, or until the tops are set and golden around the edges. Cool the muffins for a few minutes in the pan, then serve warm with butter or transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy!

I love eggs but I can’t be bothered to make an egg every morning.. I mean who has time for that?

Enter egg bites, baked in the oven, customizable to whatever your tastes are. Easy peasy… just how I like my mornings.

All you need is an oven, a 12 muffin tin, 8 eggs and whatever extras you want! To save a mess I use silicon muffin liners.

Here is what you need:

  • 8 whole eggs
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 Tbs heavy cream
  • Pinch of salt and pepper
  • 2 slices of diced bacon
  • 1/2 onion finely diced
  • 1 whole jalapeño finely diced
  • 1/2 cup feta crumbled

Sauté the onion, bacon and jalapeño in a pan until golden. Drop a 1/2 Tbs of this mixture into the muffin tins.

Whisk up the 8 eggs in a bowl. Add the heavy cream and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Add 1/4 cup of the egg mixture into each muffin tin. Top with roughly 2 tsp of crumbed feta cheese.

Put these babies into a preheated 350 degree oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes.

Voila! Now in the morning your only concern is making a Coffee, trying to get dressed in private and herding cats.. err I mean your children. 😉

First let me start by giving credit where credit is due, this recipe was given to me by a friend who found it on Pinterest these have got to be some of the best chocolate chip muffins I have ever eaten. I have tweaked the original recipe a bit, so here is my version. 

Chloe makes them at least every 10 days or so, they freeze incredibly well all you need to do is take a muffin out of the freezer put it in the lunch bag and by snacktime it’s thawed, Voila! These are a winner winner.

 INGREDIENTS:

1 1/4 cups buttermilk
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tbsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

3/4 cup granulated sugar or vanilla bean sugar 

1/2 cup butter, melted

2 larges eggs beaten 

1 tbsp vanilla bean paste or the best extract you can find 
1 1/2 cups miniature chocolate chips

sanding sugar for sprinkling on top – makes all the difference. 

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 425ºF. Use muffin liners or Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray. This recipe makes 12 large and 12 mini muffins.
In a larger bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Add the butter, eggs, vanilla, and the buttermilk. Stir JUST until a batter with lumps forms.

Fold in the chocolate chips.

Fill each cup in the muffin tin to be completely full (about a heaping 1/4 cup).

Bake at 425ºF for 5 minutes. Then decrease the heat to 375ºF and bake for another 13 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 2 minutes before removing from the tin and serving.

Enjoy!

Hands down these are are best blueberry muffins out there! The recipe makes 12 regular sized muffins or 6 extra large ones.  

  
I used frozen blueberries which is why in these pictures the muffins are really blue… If you use fresh ones the muffins will be more white :). 

Ingredients1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 cup white sugar 

1/2 teaspoon salt 

2 teaspoons baking powder 

Pinch of cinnamon 

1/3 cup vegetable oil 

1 egg 

1/3 cup milk (approx)

1 teaspoon vanilla paste or extract 

1 to 1 1/2 cups of blueberries (fresh or frozen) – this time I used wild frozen blueberries

Demerara sugar for topping

Instructions: 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). I used convection bake so my oven was set to 375 convect. Grease muffin cups or line with muffin liners.

Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 3/4 cup sugar, salt, pinch of cinnamon and baking powder. Place vegetable oil into a 1 cup liquid measuring cup; add the egg and vanilla and enough milk to fill the cup. Mix this with flour mixture. Fold in blueberries. Fill muffin cups right to the top, and sprinkle with demerara sugar or course sugar. 

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until done. Mine took exactly 24 minutes. 

  
Cool on a rack and watch these babies disappear! Delish!
