I usually bake items that are very sweet for holidays, like cupcakes or cake, but this year I wanted to make muffins for a change! Enjoy this recipe for homemade blueberry muffins!
{Amount} 15 muffins
{Time} 20 mins
{Ingredients}
- 2 cups of flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 stick of softened butter (I sit mine out an hour early)
- TOP WITH: pinch of sugar and nutmeg (need a tablespoon of each)
1. Preheat to 375 and line cupcake tray with cupcake liners or grease the cupcake pan so muffins do not stick.
2. Beat softened (not melted) butter, eggs, extracts, and sugar in a large mixing bowl.
3. Add baking powder and salt.
4. Slowly stir in the flour and milk. Can fold in half of each, and then fold in the other half.
5. Fold in blueberries and spoon dough into each cupcake liner to about 2/3’s full. Sprinkle each cupcake with sugar and nutmeg before baking!
6. Bake for 20 minutes and cool on a rack.
This post is going up a few days later than I would have liked to share it, but my husband and I have been busy moving across the country… well down the east coast!! We left Virginia to move to Jacksonville, Florida, where Jason and I met. I can’t wait for some new home DIY’s this summer!
With that being said, I have been wanting to make homemade muffins since spring since it is a great time of year for fresh fruit! I love me some blueberries!! I believe muffins would be an awesome goodie to bring to your 4th of July party, especially a backyard BBQ! My husband and I will be having a few friends (so grateful to be back by some of our closest friends) over to celebrate July 4th! What are your plans, what are you making?? Be sure to check out what I made for July 4th last year, you can do this by clicking on July 2014 on the right side bar on the home page of Drafts & Crafts!
Stay tuned because tomorrow I am launching a fabulous summer giveaway with the help of several other blogger babes!!
Keep in touch,
