Time 40m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar (white or light brown) plus more for sprinkling on top of the muffins
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon fine salt
Freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter

  • Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg together in a medium bowl; set aside.
  • Put the butter in a microwaveable-safe dish or measuring cup. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until melted, about 30 seconds. (Alternatively melt the butter in a saucepan.) Whisk the milk, eggs, lemon zest, and vanilla with the butter.
  • Make a small well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour wet ingredients into the well, then stir with a wooden spoon until the dry ingredients are moistened but still lumpy.

LEMON BASIL BLUEBERRY MUFFINS



Lemon Basil Blueberry Muffins image

From The Herb Society of America: This is a wonderfully delicious and fragrant muffin; it is sweet like cake. The addition of blue corn is fun and tasty - gives a bit of added texture and the corn is sweet. If you aren't familiar with blue cornmeal, try it and you will find its earthy taste is good in cornbread, muffins, and blue corn pancakes. You can use yellow or white cornmeal if you don't have the blue. Use a combination of lemon and cinnamon basil for the fragrance and flavor; the citrus and the spice go well with the blueberries. However, if you don't have both basils, either one can be used on its own and still make a tasty muffin.

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 45m

Yield 12 Muffins

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 2/3 cups unbleached flour
1/3 cup blue cornmeal
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1 generous cup blueberries
1 cup milk
2 extra large eggs
1/4 cup minced basil leaves (lemon and or or cinnamon)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F Use a little of the butter melted for the recipe to lightly brush the muffin tin. Set aside the remaining butter to cool.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, sugars, and nutmeg and toss well. Rinse the blueberries, pick over them, and drain well. Put them in a small bowl and toss them with 1 tablespoon of the flour mixture to coat them.
  • In a small bowl, lightly beat the eggs with a fork or a whisk, add the milk, and blend well. Stir in the melted butter and minced basil. Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir to barely combine. Add the blueberries, folding them in gently, until they are just incorporated into the batter. Do not overmix.
  • Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin tins filling them about two-thirds full. Place in the middle of a hot oven and bake for about 20 minutes, until just golden brown, or a tester comes out clean. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes or so, loosen with a metal spatula and cool on baking racks or eat them warm.

Time 30m

Yield 12 muffins, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (8 ounce) container lemon yogurt
1/4 cup margarine, melted and cooled
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons lemon rind, grated
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups blueberries

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Grease 12 (3 x 1 1/4-inch) muffin cups.
  • In a large bowl, stir together flour, the 2/3 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, stir together yogurt, butter, eggs, lemon peel and vanilla until blended.
  • Make a well in center of dry ingredients; add the yogurt mixture and stir just to combine. Stir in the blueberries.
  • Spoon batter into the muffin tins and sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar.
  • Bake 20 to 25 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh blueberries: Fresh blueberries will give your muffins the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh blueberries, you can use frozen blueberries that have been thawed and drained.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your muffins tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups almost to the top: This will help the muffins rise evenly.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature for the first few minutes: This will help the muffins rise and develop a golden brown crust.
  • Allow the muffins to cool completely before serving: This will help the muffins set and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:
