Another Puffn Muffin Recipe

Hi folks! In this entry, I would like to share a simple muffin recipe, which I think, is taken from at MyResipi.com. but as usual, freely ammended by, yours truly. I made these muffins after realizing that there was a packet of fresh blueberries which I bought last week. Yup! That's me. Love to spend my money on numerous ingredients but always forget to figure out what to do with them. Luckily these blueberries were still okay. Why don't you try baking these babies. They will surely brighten up your morning!

BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Ingredients:

1 and 1/2 cups self-raising flour

1/2 cup caster sugar

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1/2 cup low-fat milk

1 Grade C egg

1/4 cup low-fat yoghurt

150g fresh blueberries

paper cups

Method:

• Preheat your oven at 170C.
• In a big mixing bowl, put the sugar, egg, oil and milk and stir till well-mixed.
• Next, using a spatula, fold in the flour.
• Put the mixture into a piping bag and pipe into paper cups. I used 16 -20z-size paper cups.
• Then, put in the blueberries into the cups.
• Bake for 25 minutes till a skewer inserted into your muffins comes out clean.
• Enjoy!

Note: These muffins keep well in an airtight container in the fridge. What I usually do is, reheating them in the microwave oven for a scrumptious breakfast served with tea.

Another Puffin Muffin Story

It's me again. Have something to share with those who do read this blog. Went down to the kitchen quite late this morning so had to cancel the initial plan to bake the potato bread for I was running late for school. Don't get me wrong. I'm not that dedicated, especially during school holidays. I was called to settle some matters (and to hand in the very long due prefectorial board file..hahaha). To replace the potato bread, I whipped up these blueberry muffins for it only took me half and hour to get them ready from the bowl to the table. I followed a recipe by Jacky@allrecipes.com but I had replaced some ingredients and ammended some of the measurements in the initial recipe. Here's the recipe if you wish to try.

BLUEBERRY YOGHURT MUFFINS

• 250g plain flour
• 175g caster sugar
• 1 tsp soda bicarbonate
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 250g blueberry flavoured yoghurt
• 1 egg
• 4 tbsp corn oil ( the original recipe used melted butter)
• 125g fresh blueberries

Method:

1. Preheat your oven at 175C. If you are using an oven with a fan, lower the temperature to 160C.
2. Sieve together flour, soda bicarbonate and baking powder. Keep aside.
3. In another bowl, combine sugar, yoghurt, egg and oil and mix well. Pour in the sieved ingredients and blueberries. Using a spatula, fold in the mixture slowly. Your mixture should be lumpy.
4. Spoon the mixture into paper cups (I used 20 2 1/4 quart muffin cups) and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
5. You can now enjoy your muffin(s) with a nice cup of tea!

Still remember those lines from the nursery rhyme? No? Let me refresh your memory.

This entry is about the muffins that I prepared for DikWi's son, Azfar's, Canteen Day. Wi, if you are reading, thanks for the trust. Initially, I wasn't really sure whether my homemade muffins can be sold but when my dear friend, Dikwi mentioned that it's going to be part of Azfar's school charity programme, I agreed to prepare these muffins. Here are the photos. Will enclose the recipes later because it's getting late and I need to be in school as early as 7 a.m. tomorrow morning!
