You read right. A fry hangover. After Trev's hockey game last night, we went to the Outback for supper. We shared Cheese Fries. (I apparently forgot about my diet for the moment). I'm paying for that decision this morning.
So, instead of going for a run this morning, I decided to find a blueberry muffin recipe. I had bought (most) of the ingredients for Krissy's muffins, but alas, I forgot the applesauce. I had fresh blueberries in the fridge though, so I decided to search the trusty interweb.
After a bit of searching, I found this recipe. Looked on the money to me, since I still had buttermilk left over from last week's experiment.
Did a little tweaking - ended up with the recipe below.
Ingredients
1 cup white flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup melted butter
1 cup blueberries, preferably fresh
Directions
1. Line 12 muffin pans. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Beat egg and into it whisk the buttermilk and melted butter.
2. Make a depression in the center of your dry ingredients. Into it pour the liquid ingredients, all at once. Stir just enough to combine the ingredients. 12 strokes should be enough. Mixture will not be smooth. Quickly FOLD in the blueberries. (Tip - lightly coat the blueberries in flour to prevent them from sinking to the bottom).
3. Spoon the mixture quickly into the muffin pans and bake approximately 20 to 25 minutes. Cool slightly and remove from pans. Cool completely. Enjoy!

Here's how they looked coming out of the oven. Is it normal that the berries "bled" so much? Hmmm....
I'm not so artsy with my picture taking... but here they are:
Hopefully they help with the fry hangover... I will workout today. I will workout today. I will workout today.
Hubby's rating on the muffins: "(shrugging) Meh, I'm not a huge blueberry fan; but I like them" and after finishing his whole muffin: "...it's not like they're disgusting". (hahaha, he'd not be impressed to know I just wrote all of that. Muahahhaa).
Well, another adventure complete.
