Microwave Blueberry Muffins
"Hard to believe, but you can microwave these muffins in just 2 minutes. I know, I know, I didn't believe it either, and I've been baking semi-professionally for 15 years. Great solutions for midsummer baking, and children can bake their own! The batter recipe is from the Enchanted Broccoli Forest by Mollie Katzen. I usually substitute whole wheat flour and a little flax seed meal for a portion of the white flour. The yield was supposedly 12, but I've never gotten more than 8 or 10 muffins from it."
