You Say "Muffin Top" Like It's A Bad Thing

Of course I had to make blueberry muffins. I have three quarts of fresh, lovely blueberries - you know I am going to have some fun with them!Look at them steaming in there - what on Earth could they be doing to fog up the container that way??

It must be nerves - they know I have plans, muahahaha!!

Ahem.

Muffins, anyone?

The cast:

3/4 cups mlik
1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil
1 egg
2 cup all purpose flour (I used unbleached, and you can use whole wheat if you like)
1/3 cup sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder (yes, I know that's a Tablespoon, but work with me here)
1 teaspoon salt (see? This way you only dirty one measuring spoon)
1 cup fresh blueberries (picked through for bugs, weirdoes, or random things kids thought should go into the berry bucket)

Heat oven to 400. Hot stuff!

Grease the bottom of muffin cups or line them with foofy paper thingies. I like foofy paper thingies - look at the colors, aren't they festive?

Beat milk, oil, and egg in a bowl until they look like this:

Wow that looks really...unappetizing. Moving on.

Stir in flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt all at once.

Stir just until moist (batter will be lumpy), then add blueberries.

Gently fold in blueberries.

Spoon batter equally into muffin cups. Try to actually get it into the cup and not, you know, all over the pan, the stove top, your shirtfront, and two of your three cats.

Sprinkle the tops with sugar if you like (I like). Bake at 400 for twenty minutes or until golden brown.

Remove from pan immediately.

Mmm. Fend off Evil Genius who wants a muffin NOW!!! because the berries are like little, sweet, blue lava bombs in there.

Brew some coffee or tea, or pour some juice, and breakfast is served.
