How to Make Buttermilk Blueberry Muffins
Buttermilk for tenderness and tang, cornmeal and oatmeal for dimension, and a touch of butter for satisfaction, these yummy buttermilk muffins are the ideal healthy muffin recipe when you want something a little special.
The Ingredients
Flour. Whole wheat flour gives these muffins a nutrition boost, and all-purpose flour keeps them light and fluffy. Cornmeal. For a hint of texture, it makes these muffins especially delightful.Oats. I love the texture that the oats bring to the muffins. Plus, oats are rich in filling fiber and protein.Sugar. For softness and sweetness. Buttermilk. Buttermilk adds a wonderful tang to the muffins and helps make muffins tender. Extra buttermilk on hand? Use it to bake this easy Buttermilk Cake.
Maple Syrup. For natural sweetness and beloved maple syrup flavor. Butter. Because butter simply makes everything taste better. Butter also plays a role in the texture and moisture of the muffins. Applesauce. Applesauce is a healthy replacement for butter and oil that also makes muffins mouthwateringly moist.
Blueberries. Little bursts of sweet flavor that make these muffins extra special and scrumptious! Frozen blueberries can also be used (no need to thaw).
The Directions
