Blueberry Muffins
When we tossed the crackers and chips from our cupboards we needed to replace them with healthier snacks, because kids still need to snack!
Muffins of all sorts have been a wonderful replacement for the empty, dead calories we used to consume in order to pacify our hunger until dinner. So, bring on the muffins!
Homemade Blueberry Muffins
Ingredients:
3 cups whole grain flour (I use any combination of whole wheat, white whole wheat, or whole wheat pastry flour)
1 1/2 cups sucanat
1 t vanilla
1 cup milk
1 1/4 t baking powder
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t sea salt
1/2 stick organic butter
1/4 cup organic coconut oil
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
In large mixing bowl, with mixer,
mix together coconut oil and softened butter, then add sucanant and mix until well blended. Add vanilla.
In a separate bowl, mix all dry ingredients together. Add into butter mixture, add milk. Mix together by hand. Add blueberries last.
Spoon into baking cups and bake at 350 17 minutes or until desired browing. My kids like them mushy so I often pull them out sooner. If you like a drier muffin, add an egg to the inital butter-sucanat mixture.
There you are!
A healthy snack high in fiber, whole grains, antioxidants, calcium, and low on the glycemic index!
Filling and yummy! You will be so surprised how good they are.
