I've looked for a 'from scratch' recipe and still haven't had a lot of success (Coop occasionally does sell BB muffins but they're 2chf a piece and that's a bit much for a week of breakfast). I have now found a fantastic recipe though, and while I made it as a cake as suggested, next time I will make it in muffin cups. It was really easy to make. I'm also already thinking of making it with chocolate chips for hubby - which would be easy to make both at once if using the muffin pan. You need a few bowls to make this. (sorry about the pictures - when I remake it I will retake them)
The original recipe is located here
What you need:
The zest from 1 large lemon
7/8 cup of sugar
1 egg - room temperature
1 tsp vanilla (again I used my homemade which I think tastes better than store bought)
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder (next time I will try it with backpulver)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 a package of frozen blueberries (BBs)-(or 2 cups of fresh if you make this when they're in season
1/2 cup buttermilk (sauer buttermilch - available at Coop but not online)
Preheat the oven to 180 C
In a small bowl, cream the butter with the zest and sugar until well mixed
In a larger bowl, add the egg and vanilla and mix until combined. Add in the butter/sugar mixture.
In your final bowl, mix the baking powder, salt and flour together.
Add your flour mixture and buttermilk a little bit at a time to the butter/egg/sugar bowl and mix. I did this in two batches.
Butter (or use cooking spray) a medium sized baking dish and spread the batter into the pan. Bake for 45 minutes. Cut into squares and allow to cool slightly.
