This is quite a simple recipe, low cal, snack option. I made some of these and eating them with hot cocoa was bliss while enjoying the last few cold days in the year 2010. The snow outside is stubborn and simply refuses to melt away. So I decided to light some vanilla scented candles and cherish the few but beautiful days of 2010...
And here is what you need:
All purpose flour: 1 cup
Sugar : 1/4 cup (more if you prefer the sweeter version)
Baking pwd : 1 tsp
Salt : 1 pinch
Blueberries (I used frozen ones): 1/2 cup
Milk : 1/2 cup
Vegetable oil: 1.5 tbsp
Almonds (sliced) : 1/4 cup
Vanilla extract : 1/2 tsp
Egg : 1
Lemon/Orange rind : 1 pinch
Method:
Preheat the oven to 350F and grease/line the muffin pan and keep it aside.
Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl (flour, Baking powder, salt, sugar). Mix the wet ingredients in another bowl (Oil, milk, vanilla extract, egg). Stir in the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and add lemon rind, Almonds and blueberries. Mix lightly as we don't want to crush the blue berries. Now spoon the batter into the muffin pan leaving some space for the muffin to rise. Bake for 20- 30 minutes. Keep an eye as baking time may differs. Muffins are done when they are slightly brown on the top and a skewer when inserted , comes out clean.
