Joy Of Baking Buttermilk Berry Muffins Recipes

JOY OF BAKING BUTTERMILK BERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Position rack in center of oven. Line with paper liners, or butter or spray, with a non stick cooking spray, 12 - 2 3/4 x 1 1/2 inch muffin cups.
• In a large measuring cup or bowl whisk together the egg, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla extract.
• In another large bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and zest. Gently fold in the berries. With a rubber spatula fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir only until the ingredients are combined. Do not over mix the batter or tough muffins will result.
• Fill each muffin cup almost full with batter, using two spoons or an ice cream scoop. Place in the oven and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 20 - 25 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool for about 5 - 10 minutes before removing from pan.
• Makes 12 regular sized muffins.
• Note: If using frozen berries you may have to bake the muffins a little longer than the stated time.

BEST OF THE BEST BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Position rack in the middle of oven. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray the top of a muffin pan with non-stick coating, and line with paper liners.
• In a large bowl, cream together the butter, 1 1/4 cups sugar and salt until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Mix together 1 3/4 cup of the flour and baking powder. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk, mixing just until incorporated. Crush 1/4 of the blueberries, and stir into the batter. Mix the rest of the whole blueberries with the remaining 1/4 cup of the flour, and fold into the batter. Scoop into muffin cups. Sprinkle tops lightly with sugar.
• Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until golden brown, and tops spring back when lightly tapped.

BUTTERMILK OATMEAL MUFFINS

Steps:

• In a bowl, soak oats in buttermilk for 15 minutes. Stir in egg, sugar and oil. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; stir into oat mixture just until moistened. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake at 400° until muffins test done, 16-18 minutes. Cool in pan 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack.

BUTTERMILK BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375f, grease or line muffin tins, 12 regular, 6 extra large.
• Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in large bowl. Toss blueberries in flour mixture. In separate bowl combine buttermilk, egg, oil and vanilla extract.
• Create a well/crater in the center of the flour mixture, pour the buttermilk mixture into the well/crater. Fold gently, just till ingredients are moist. More mixing will result in tough, chewy muffins.
• Spoon batter into muffin tins, filling 2/3 (or more) full. Muffins have a nice crisp top, however, if you'd like a crunchy top, sprinkle with sugar, orange zest mixture.
• Bake on centre rack for 20 mins, perhaps longer if using frozen blueberries. Muffins are done when toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool 5 minutes. Store in sealed container.
