Blueberry Muffins

During our vacation in Northern California, I baked some Blueberry Muffins before going out to visit my sister in law Kristen in Bass Lake. I found the recipe on Pinterest from the blog, Mommy Moment (see link below). The muffins were soft and full of flavor from the fresh blueberries and vanilla extract. Since I am trying to cut back on sugar as much as possible, I took out 1 cup of sugar and the muffins were amazing. This is something to be mindful of when you bake and cut sugar out from each recipe if possible. See recipe below.

Yield: 2 Dozen Muffins

Ingredients
2 cups fresh Blueberries

3 cups All Purpose Flour

2 tsp Baking Soda

½ tsp Salt

1 cup, 2 sticks Butter, softened and each cut into eight cubes

¾ cup Sugar

2 Eggs, room temperature

2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract

1½ cups Whole Milk

Blueberry Muffins just out of the oven

Directions
Heat oven to 350.

Spray muffin tins with baking spray.

In a bowl incorporate the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.

In  a separate bowl mix together the butter and sugar until smooth. I did this by hand with a wooden spoon since I did not have a mixer on hand.

Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter/sugar and mix until incorporated.

Slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and combine.

Blueberry Muffins cooling down

Add milk and mix until smooth.

Gently fold in blueberries.

Fill muffin tins 3/4 way and bake for 20-25 minutes or until done.

Test with a toothpick and if it comes out clean, they are ready.

Cool in tin for 10 minutes and then remove muffins and place on wire rack to cool completely.

Do like me and have one warm. Yum.
