Description
Skinny Blueberry Muffins These skinny blueberry muffins are a lightened up take on a classic. Greek yogurt replaces butter, and the whole batch uses only a small amount of vegetable oil and sugar.
Ingredients
Ingredients
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 large egg
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup Silk Unsweetened Cashewmilk
¼ cup canola or vegetable oil
¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 and 1/2 cups fresh blueberries, tossed in 2 tablespoons flour, helps prevent sinking
Instructions
Instructions
1-Preheat oven to 425F: Preheat oven to 425F. Spray the cavities of a Non-Stick 12-Cup Regular Muffin Pan very well with cooking spray or grease and flour the pan; set aside. (I don’t prefer the cosmetic look of muffin liners.)
2-To a large bowl, add all the: To a large bowl, add all the flour, baking powder, salt, and whisk to combine; set aside.
3-To a separate large bowl, add the: To a separate large bowl, add the egg, sugar, milk, canola oil, Greek yogurt, vanilla, and whisk until smooth and combined.
4-Add the wet ingredients to the dry: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until smooth and combined, without needlessly over-mixing or muffins will become tough.
5-Add the blueberries and fold gently to: Add the blueberries and fold gently to incorporate. I haven’t tried the recipe using frozen blueberries but if you do, I recommend adding them to the batter frozen because they’ll run and bleed less than if thawed, adjust baking time accordingly if necessary.
6-Using a large cookie scoop or 1/4-cup: Using a large cookie scoop or 1/4-cup measure, evenly distribute the batter into the cavities of the prepared pan, filling each cavity about 3/4-full. Tip – Add a couple blueberries to the top of each muffin for a nice pop of color.
7-Bake for 5 minutes at 425F: Bake for 5 minutes at 425F. The short baking time at very high heat helps the muffins get a more domed top.
8-Lower the temp to 375F and bake: Lower the temp to 375F and bake for about 19 to 20 minutes or until tops are set, lightly golden, springy to the touch, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, but no batter. Use your judgment when evaluating doneness because muffin pans, ovens, ingredients, and climates vary. Start watching closely at about 16 minutes.
9-Allow muffins to cool in pan on: Allow muffins to cool in pan on top of a wire rack for about 10 minutes before removing and placing on rack to cool completely. Gently rim each cavity with a knife if necessary for easier removal. Muffins are best fresh but will keep airtight at room temp for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
