Blueberry Muffins With Almond Streusel

"These muffins are loaded with essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidents, plus heart friendly monounsaturated fat from the almonds and canola oil. These freeze well up to a month. Microwave frozen muffins at High for 15 seconds. We like these especially since the recipe calls for whole wheat flour and oatmeal. Adaped from Cooking Light"

  1. great muffins! I had really thick greek yogurt so i thinned it with milk, and I added 1 tsp almond extract in addition to the vanilla.
     
  2. Delicious! I followed the recipe to the T. The only variation I made to the recipe was to use bakery-style muffin tins for a larger, friendlier-looking muffin. Moist, just the right white to wheat flour ratio!
     
  3. These turned out really good, even though I didn't have quite enough yogurt and had to use more milk to make up the difference. I also used 1 egg instead of the egg substitute and pecans instead of almonds because that's what I had on hand. I have trouble finding muffin recipes that have some substance so I don't feel like I'm just eating a cupcake for breakfast, but also not too heavy and bland. These turned out very nice with the whole wheat flour and oatmeal in them, and just enough sugar to balance out the tart berries (Since I'm trying to cut back on my sugar, I might be able to get away with only 3/4 a cup of sugar next time, but even with the full cup I was happy that these muffins were not tooth-achingly sweet like many muffins are). Now I'm glad I made the full batch of 30 muffins and froze 24 of them. I hope they're just as good thawed out as they were fresh.
     
  4. These turned out so well. I made the recipe as written except I usually like my muffins a little thicker, so I filled the muffin cups a little more than 3/4 full and ended up with 23 muffins. I also had to bake them 2-3 minutes longer because they were thicker. I will definitely be making these again. Thanks!
     
  5. Me being the idiot I am, I completely forgot I had neither fresh blueberries nor almonds. I left out streusel topping, used all whole-wheat flour, and frozen blueberries. I think this is probably gonna be the basic muffin recipe I use, with things mixed in. I think next time I'll cut the blueberries in half, as they didn't seem to bake properly. Anyways, thanks for my new basic muffin recipe! (Maybe next time I'll try the promising almond streusel ;}

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>My favorite cookbook, well I guess I have 3...The Way to Cook, by Julia Child, the Low Fat Living Cookbook and The California Wine Country Cookbook II. I am retired, due to no longer being able to work because of complications from the Crohns Disease I have lived with since 1971. For a while I didn't even do any cooking or knitting since the inflammatory arthrisis (secondary to the Crohns) was too painful in my hands and feet. Fortunately I am now on a drug protocol that seems to be working, but I am still not able to be as productive as I would like. Still can't work, but I am cooking and knitting again. My husband and I moved to Surprise, Arizona at the end of January 2005. My husband is retired from being in the wine business. I love to cook (and we love to eat) and am always looking for new recipies to try. Due to a slight blood sugar problem my husband has to stick to a diet that eliminates sugars and bad carbs, so I have had to modify a lot of the recipes we like. I love Recipezaar, as I have found so many good, healthy recipes here. I hope you enjoy the recipes that I post as much as I have enjoyed the new ones I've found here.</p>
