Whole Wheat Blueberry Muffins

By know1der

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups White Whole Wheat Flour
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, optional
• 1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 cups buttermilk or plain (not Greek) yogurt

Preparation

Step 1

1) Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly grease the cups of a standard muffin pan;
or line with paper baking cups, and grease the paper cups.
2) Whisk together all of the dry ingredients, including the blueberries.
3) In a separate bowl, whisk together the vanilla, vegetable oil, and buttermilk
or whey.
4) Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just to combine.
5) Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them nearly full. A
slightly heaped muffin scoop of batter is the right amount.
6) Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with coarse sparkling sugar or cinnamon
sugar, if desired.
7) Bake the muffins for 18 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the
middle of one of the center muffins comes out clean.
8) Remove the muffins from the oven, and after 5 minutes (or when they're
cool enough to handle) transfer them to a rack to cool. Serve warm, or at
room temperature. Store leftovers loosely wrapped at room temperature.
