| I love taking our nieces and nephews to pick blueberries with us! |
It's my favorite season of the year. Blueberry season! Did you know that Michigan produces more blueberries than any other state in the country?! I love being able to go to nearby Montrose Orchards and pick berries fresh from the bush and then immediately take them home and bake with them. I use them in all sorts of things- waffles, zucchini bread, and obviously muffins.
When it comes to making blueberry muffins, I use my Wilson Whoopie Pie Pan to make muffin tops. It helps with portion control and stretches the batter a bit farther so I can share goodies with friends and family. The great thing about making them with Enjoy Life All-Purpose Flour is that I know it's made in a nut-free, soy-free, gluten-free facility. I want all my food-allergy friends to feel loved!
I used the last of Enjoy Life All-Purpose Flour making these last batch of muffins. Thank goodness my Enjoy Life Amazon Dash button just came in the mail. What's an Amazon Dash Button you ask? It's a wi-fi connected device that allows you to order your favorite items, through Amazon Prime, with the simple touch of a button. And just like that, your favorite items arrive in two days! One note- each button can only be tied to one item. So when you also run out of Enjoy Life Mega Chunks, like I put in my muffins, you need a separate button for that as well. This video explains it more.
Seeing that the Enjoy Life Foods All-Purpose Flour is meant to be a 1-1 replacement for regular flour, I made my muffin tops simply following the standard Betty Crocker recipe and substituting the Enjoy Life flour for regular wheat flour. And of course, I added some Enjoy Life chocolate chunks!
Betty Crocker Popular Muffins
1 egg
1 cup milk
1/4 cup salad oil
2 cups Enjoy Life Foods All Purpose Flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 cup chocolate chunks *optional
Heat oven to 400*. Grease bottoms of 2 Whoopie pie pans. (Check out my creative way for doing this!) Beat egg; stir in milk and oil. Mix in remaining ingredients just until flour is moistened. Batter should be lumpy. (**Note- My batter was runny and not lumpy. I tend to find this to be the case when working with this flour. They still baked fine.) Fill Whoopie pie wells 2/3 full. Bake 18-20 minutes. Let rest for 2-3 minutes, then remove muffin tops to wire rack to cool. Makes 20-24 muffin tops.
