Ingredients Notes
- Flour - Use all-purpose flour.
- Baking powder -Needed for the perfect rise to the muffin.
- Salt - Enhances the flavor of the other ingredients and provides a balance to the sweetness of the muffin.
- Sugar - Used to add a smooth sweetness to the muffins. Y
- Greek yogurt - A vanilla flavored yogurt can be substituted. The yogurt is thinned down with just a little water. You can substitute whole milk for the yogurt and water.
- Butter - Salted butter.
- Egg- In a pinch ½ mashed banana can be substituted for the egg however I think using an egg will give the best texture and flavor.
- Vanilla extract - vanilla or an almond extract can be used.
- Blueberries - I use fresh sweet blueberries and sometimes opt for frozen because they are picked and flash-frozen and the height of ripeness and I’m confident they will be flavorful. If using frozen berries the blueberries should be added to the batter while still frozen. When using fresh blueberries make sure you find the ripe sweet ones. You can also substitute another frozen or fresh berry.
- Optional Ingredient: Add a handful of chocolate chips Addin a little lemon zest to the batter.
