So it has been a while AGAIN! Oh well, I'm going to get this blog up and running now!
Recently I have been on a quest to bake a healthy treat as I love cake but I don't love my cake belly!!!
I found this fab blueberry muffin recipe http://www.itv.com/food/recipes/blueberry-muffins
Which, believe it or not, was written by Olivia Newton-John! You go girl!
The ingredients you will need are:
- Olive oil spray, for greasing
- 155 g fresh or frozen blueberries (I used frozen)
- 1 tbsp soft brown sugar
- 300 g wholemeal (whole-wheat) self-raising flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 free-range egg, beaten
- 125 g low-fat berry yoghurt (I used raspeberry)
- 250 ml low-fat milk
Now get cooking!
1 Preheat the oven
to 210oC (415oF/Gas 6–7). Lightly grease a 12-hole standard 125 ml (4 fl
oz/1⁄2 cup) muffin tin with olive oil spray or line with paper cases.
2 Put
the blueberries and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until
the juices just start to run and the sugar dissolves. Remove from the
heat and set aside to cool.
3 Sift the flour, baking powder and cinnamon into a bowl.
4 In
a separate bowl, combine the egg, yoghurt and milk. Add to the dry
ingredients and stir until well combined. Gently fold in the cooled
blueberry mixture until combined.
They were very tasty but a little bit bready, I think that's because of the wholewheat flour.
This recipe is definately worth a try but I think I'm going to keep searching and experimenting. I might use grated carrot next time instead of the blueberries and see how it works out!!
