- Ready In:
- 40mins
- Ingredients:
- 10
- Yields:
-
12 muffins
- Serves:
- 12
ingredients
- 118.29 ml unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
- 591.47 ml soft whole wheat flour (any kind of whole wheat flour works)
- 7.39 ml baking powder
- 2.46 ml salt
- 295.73 ml frozen mini blueberries (you may use which ever blueberries you like best, but for bigger ones, you increase to 2 cups)
- 295.73 ml unbleached cane sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 9.85 ml pure vanilla extract
- 118.29 ml milk
- 1.23 ml nutmeg
directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F Generously butter a standard 12-cup muffin pan and dust with flour, tapping out excess; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Working over the bowl, toss blueberries in a fine sieve with about 1 1/2 teaspoons flour mixture to lightly coat; set aside the flour mixture and the blueberries.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or using a hand held mixer, beat butter and 1 cup sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until combined. Mix in vanilla.
- With the mixer on low speed, add reserved flour mixture, beating until just combined. Add milk, beating until just combined. Do not overmix. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the blueberries. Divide batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups. If desired, in a small bowl, mix together remaining 1/4 cup sugar and nutmeg. Sprinkle sugar mixture on top of muffin batter.
- Bake, rotating pan halfway though, until muffins are golden brown and a cake tester inserted in the center of one muffin comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool 10 minutes. Turn muffins on their sides in their cups, and let cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.

These are very good. I was skeptical about the texture with using only whole wheat flour instead of a blend, but they were really good! (I think the 1/2 c butter had something to do with that!) I used large blueberries and increased to 2 cups as recommended, which unfortunately created a bit of a mess for me. That was just too much blueberries in the bottoms of some of the muffin cups. I would recommend either sticking to the smaller blueberries, or using the large blueberries without increasing the amount. Just scoop with care to try to distribute the 1 1/2 cups of blueberries throughout your muffins. I used 1/2 cup splenda and 1/2 cup sugar, and did not sprinkly the tops with sugar. I stirred the nutmeg and some cinnamon into the muffins. I will make these again, experimenting to try to keep the moist texture while cutting down the amount of butter with some applesauce. I don't think I'll be able to do 50-50 without a great loss of texture, but 25-75 might be possible. Thanks for posting. Made for Fall 08 PAC. -
These were very good. I chose this for PAC 08. I am trying to incorporate more whole wheat in my diet and what better recipe than blueberry muffins. These will be a regular for breakfast. Thanks for such a tasty recipe and very easy to make too.

I am a dancer with very little time to do other things.. Cooking is one of my favorite pass times (I am seldom found with out my Martha Stewart cook book or Marthastewart magazine). I am very athletic, love any form of exercise, and I am very creative and artistic. Love Boston and hope to move there some day. It really bothers me to cook in a dirty kitchen! Rule of thumb "Never make a mess on top of a mess"... Only results into a Monstrous mess!
I am a VERY neat, and organized, my mind can't function in a cluttered situation. I love my rabbit, and I love clean bed sheets with a heavy quilt to warm me in the winter time. I Love to knit, and sew. If one was to take me to a place of my choice, I would choose a sandy white beach, in a remote area. Aaaa, so relaxing!! I couldn't live with out music, one of my favorite things even created. I love all season, but I tend to favor summer. My dream Dance role is Juliet in Romeo and Juliet. Aaa, that will be the day when I shed tears of joy and pain combine. To finish off, I love my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ above all things.
