Blueberry Lemon Muffins Using Whole Grain Flours Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a 12-muffin tin with cupcake liners and set aside.
• 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. Do not overmix the batter or your muffins will be dense. Gently stir in the blueberries. Divide the batter evenly into the muffin tin and sprinkle the tops generously with sugar.
• Put the muffins in the oven and immediately reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through the cooking. (Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin to check if it is done. Toothpick should come out clean). Cool muffins in the pan on a rack for a couple minutes. Turn the muffins out of the pan and cool on the rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• 12 cup muffin tin, lightly greased.
• In a large bowl, combine barley and whole wheat flours, sugar, baking powder, lemon zest, baking soda and salt. Mix well and make a well in the center.
• In a separate bowl, beat eggs. Add buttermilk, butter and vanilla and beat well. Pour into the well and mix with dry ingredients just until blended. Fold in blueberries. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups. Bake in preheated oven until tops are golden and spring back when lightly touched, about 16 minutes. If using frozen blueberries, you may need to cook muffins for as long as 25 minutes.
• Let cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before removing from pan.

• Bake muffins in the preheated oven until they rise and the tops are golden brown, about 20 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin should come out clean.
