Whole Wheat Blueberry Muffins


Blueberry muffins are all time favorite at home. My little one loves them. This is one of the first things I tried when I started baking. This recipe is super easy and gets done in less than 30 mins. I make them with wheat flour for a healthier version. You can reduce the amount of sugar if you like it less sweet. Here is the easy recipe of my favorite blueberry muffins.


Ingredients:
All purpose flour/wheat flour : 1 1/2cups
Sugar: 3/4 cup
Salt: 1/2 tsp
Baking powder: 1 tsp
Baking soda: 1 tsp
Oil:1/3 cup
Egg:1
Milk:1/2 cup
Vanilla Essence: 2 tsp


Method:
1. Begin with preheating your oven to 200 degree celcius. Arrange the paper liners on the muffin cups and keep it aside.

2. Take a mixing bowl and mix in dry ingredients - flour,sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. 

3. In a measuring cup add 1/3rd cup of vegetable oil, break a large egg into it and pour milk until 1 cup measure. Add vanilla essence and whisk it well for 2 mins.

4. Mix the wet ingredients with dry flour mixture and combine well.

5. Mix in the washed blueberries and fill the batter equally into muffin cups. Sprinkle a little sugar on top of each cup to get a crispier muffin top.



6. Add a little water on the baking try and then keep the muffin tray on it. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Water helps to bake the muffins evenly. To check for doneness insert a toothpick in the center and if it comes out clean muffins are ready. Enjoy the delicious blueberry muffins at tea time :-)




Notes:
1. Do not over mix the batter otherwise the muffins turn harder. You can mix dry and wet ingredients as much as you want separately but once you mix them just whisk until they are just combined. 

2. Baking time varies by 5-10 mins when you make them with whole wheat flour.

3. All purpose flour makes the beautiful muffins but if u don't care abt the looks, try whole wheat muffins which are healthier although a bit cracked up on top :-))
