Blueberry Muffins

Blueberry muffins sound better than they taste because the berries are quite watery and lack flavour. On the other hand, if you make a tasty jam with some berries and add that, together with the fresh berries you have a real winner!

Muffins

Remove the raisin bag from the foil packet and pour boiling water over the raisins to plump them up. Drain immediately and set aside to swell.

Adjust oven rack to the middle position. Preheat oven to 190 °C. Grease 2 muffin pans. Beat eggs and oil for 30 seconds on high speed until well blended. Add yoghurt and milk and beat until blended.

Add contents of pack, drained plumped raisins, whole blueberries and blueberry jam. Stir by hand with a wooden spoon ± 40 times until unifor mly blended. (Do not beat.) Spoon mixture into buttered muffin pan/s. An ice cream scoop does the job perfectly.

Bake for about 30 - 35 minutes.
