My Cure for the Sunday Blues
Posted by Renee | Filed under Favorites, Recipes
Blueberry muffin fresh out of the oven.
Nothing makes me happier than a freshly baked muffin, especially a blueberry one! I have the tendency to buy up tons of fresh, local blueberries during the summer so that I can freeze them and pull them out all winter long. On a recent sunny Sunday while feeling blue, I thought that the perfect pick me up would be to whip up a batch of my Momma’s famous blueberry muffins. Needless to say that the only thing “blue” after eating one of these was my tongue! Enjoy.
Ingredients
- 4 c flour
- 2tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 c sugar
- 2c sour cream
- 4 eggs
- zest of 2 lemons
- 2/3 c canola oil
- 2 1/2 c blueberries
Pre-heat oven to 350°F. Mix dry ingredients and then add the wet. Fold in the blueberries at the very end as to not turn your batter blue. Fill half-way up muffin tins and bake for 12-15 minutes. This recipe makes 12 large muffins.
Once dry ingredients are mixed, start adding in your eggs, oil and sour cream.
The recipe calls for the zest of 2 lemons, but I always add extra! Experiment and add orange or lime zest as well.
In go my frozen blueberries that I pulled out from my secret summer stash!
Be careful not to over-mix once you’ve added your berries; you don’t want blue batter!
Into the muffin tins and off to my 350°F oven for 12-15 minutes. I use silicone muffin tins as I find it easier to get my muffins out and also easier to clean.
