I have never make blueberry muffin before. Can you believe it...:p
I have thought of making this muffin a few times but never lay my hands on it..until now WHY now?? Because...
when I first saw the 'Cook like A Star' blog hop in Zeo's place, I am so excited and wanted to join. I started to browser in Donna Hay website hope to find a recipe that I like and it is easy to follow. I found this:
To-easy Blueberry muffins - recipes by Donna Hay From Donna Hay- Fast, Fresh, Simple
I said to myself, this is the one I want to make.
I live in Malaysia, in a very small town named Miri. It is very hard to get fresh blueberries here and not even frozen ones. The next day I went to the local fruit stall, guess what?? I am so lucky they sell fresh blueberries. I bought a box, came home and found that the recipe need 300 grams of blueberries and I only have 125 grams of a box. I packed and freeze the blueberries and hope to get another box the next day. Unfortunately, they are all sold out. I have no choice so I make half of the recipe.
I can't join the blog hop with a unsuccessful Blueberry Muffins. I decided to make the muffins again. This time I get it right and it is really really muffin...just nice and it is just like its named 'Too-Easy Blueberry Muffin'... too-easy to make.

Method:
1) Preheat oven to 180c (350F). Place the flour, baking powder and sugar in a bowl.
Place the oil, egg, and vanilla in a separate bowl and whisk to combine,
Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Add the blueberries and mix to combine.
~Adding in the frozen blueberries.~
Spoon mixture into a 12-hole muffin tin lined with paper patty cases. (I used silicone cups lined with paper patty cases)
~These are going to the oven..for 30 minutes. ~
Sprinkle the tops with sugar and bake for 30-35 minutes or until cooked when tested with a skewer. Remove from tin and cool on a wire rack.
I am joining the 'Cook Like A Star' blog hop event for March 2012 host by Bake For Happy Kids....Oops!! I only realize that the collection is close :(
Anyway, I learn a lot from this recipe and I love to make this Too-Easy Blueberry Muffins again. Next time might try, change to other fruits that is more easy to get in my town.
No worries I wil try to join the next 'Cook like A Star' blog hop event...^^

I like to bake with berries too. However the $ of any berries here(Kuching) is expensive! A box around 200g sure costs more than Rm15! Can't find frozen one. So not sure the $. Anyway how much you pay for the 125g blueberries ? Really like to have some of your lovely muffins ^^
ReplyDeleteThanks Viv. I manage to buy the 125g for rm15 in the local fruit stall. Before that I went to Giant they are selling 125g for rm20.99...can you imagine that??
ReplyDeleteViv, are you from Kuching??
If not mistaken the price for berries is a lot cheaper in Peninzular. Wow! $15 for 125g if me 不奢的买咯。
ReplyDeleteNope, we (hubby and I) are from Penizular. Follow my hubby ever since he work in Kuching.
Viv, really a lot cheaper in Peninsular. I remember when I go to KL for a visiting, I did see some in the supermarket is so much cheaper.
ReplyDeleteAre you still in Kuching nowadays following your hubby?
图片中的这种塑胶杯子是可以送进烤箱?
ReplyDeleteKate,
ReplyDelete这是特质的silicone cups..
可以进烤箱的还可以耐220c
起初用是也怕它会溶化,不过用用下就不会了。
I'm staying in Kuching now. Almost 9 years now... Time pass really fast.
