Blueberry muffins

Hello,

Its been a while since NEPA has refused to give us light in Ikorodu plus the ongoing fuel scarcity.
Anyways after much wahala, we finally got fuel to power the generator. So I decided to play around with a blueberry muffin recipe from a cookbook I own, I added a couple of things to jazz it up a bit. This recipe is really easy to throw together and not overly sweet.

Here's a list of things you'll need

  •  2 and 1/2 cups of flour
  • 1/4 cup of white sugar
  • 1/8 cup of brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon of baking powder
  • 1 cup of buttermilk or milk
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons of freshly brewed coffee
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup of blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
  •  60 grams of melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • About a cup and half of streusel topping( recipe will be posted later, as it can be omitted)


 Firstly, we classify the ingredients into two: Wet and Dry ingredients
                                          DRY INGREDIENTS            WET INGREDIENTS
                                            Flour                                   Buttermilk/ milk
                                           White sugar                             Brown sugar
                                       Baking powder                          Melted butter
                                              Salt                                         Coffee
                                                                                            Lemon juice
                                                                                                Eggs
                                                                                         Vanilla extract
Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
Now add all the dry Ingredients in a bowl and whisk them together nicely


Crack both eggs in another bowl, beat slightly then add the rest of your wet ingredients, mix well.
                                                                                                                                                    


Now add your wet ingredients into your dry and slowly mix them until well combined


Next, Fold your blueberries into your muffin batter  


Line a muffin pan with 12 cupcake liners, then fill each one with about a tablespoon of streusel topping. (I will post the recipe for the streusel topping later, you can make your muffins without them or you can wait for the recipe for the streusel topping.)

Fill each liner with muffin batter and sprinkle on them the rest of the streusel topping

Bake for 20 minutes in the oven, then insert a skewer stick or toothpick, if it comes out clean, its done






This muffins are super easy, moist and very delicious. I'd love for you guys to try it out. Recipe makes 14 muffins.
