Blueberry Muffins
Ingredients for 12 muffins
- 500g flour
- 250g dried blueberries
- 100g caster sugar
- 4g ground cinnamon
- 8g baking powder
- 1.2 g baking soda
- Salt
- 2 eggs
- 250ml milk
- 60ml melted butter
- Citrus zest
- 5ml vanilla extract
Preparation
Allow 15 minutes for preparation and 20 minutes for cooking.
- Start by soaking your dried blueberries in water for 15 minutes to rehydrate them.
- Preheat the oven to 190°C and arrange paper trays in the muffin tins.
- You can also simply grease the molds if they are silicone.
- Place all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt: make sure to mix all these elements well.
- Separately, beat the eggs, milk, melted butter, lemon or orange zest and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add this mixture to the dry ingredients and stir with a whisk or spatula so that everything is homogeneous.
- Avoid over-mixing so that the batter retains a fluffy texture.
- Add the blueberries to the preparation. Use a silicone spatula to stir the batter without crushing the blueberries.
- Fill the molds with the dough and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Check the muffins for doneness: they should be golden brown and firm to the touch. Allow at least ten minutes before unmolding.
- These blueberry muffins are perfect for breakfast or a snack, with a cup of coffee or tea.
- For an extra touch of flavor, accompany them with a small portion of butter, honey or maple syrup.
Make this recipe with wild blueberries from Lac Saint-Jean. They are certified natural, with no artificial flavors, no preservatives and no colorings. For even more indulgence, add a drizzle of golden maple syrup at the tasting? These muffins will please the whole family!
Blueberry muffin: a North American recipe
Muffins were created in Britain between the 10th and 11th centuries. Very popular, they were considered an accompaniment of choice for tea time, or afternoon tea. With the arrival of British settlers in Canada, muffins were introduced to the culinary culture in the New World. Over time, Canadians have developed their own version of muffins using local ingredients and adapting them to their taste. This is how the recipes for blueberry or cranberry muffins appeared.
Did you know that blueberries are fruits rich in nutrients, vitamin C, antioxidants and fiber? They are also a good source of B vitamins, potassium and manganese. Wild blueberries have the most antioxidants in their skins.
