Yummy fat-free blueberry muffins - and so easy to whip up for morning tea! This muffin recipe makes about 8 medium-size muffins. Try doubling the quantities for a larger batch.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 1/4 Cups plain flour (5oz)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup sugar (4oz)
- 1/2 cup milk (5oz)
- 1/4 cup apple sauce / pureed apple (3oz)
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup blueberries, drained.
METHOD
- Sift dry ingredients together.
- In another bowl, mix beaten egg, milk and apple sauce.
- Add liquid ingredients to dry ingredients, and mix just long enough to moisten.
- Stir in blueberries carefully.
- Spoon into greased muffin trays. Bake for 15-20 minutes @ 180 C/350 F.
NOTE! If mix is too dry, add a little extra milk. If too moist, add a little more flour.
Excuse me but... how do you get this volume? I mean, I'm not able to make my muffins raise like yours, they look awesome! I'd like my muffins look like yours :(

There's a number of possible reasons for flailing muffins:
1. Oven-temperature/cooking time (make sure you pre-heat oven and allow a little more if your cooker is a bit "slow".
2. Not enough baking powder - this is your "raising agent" (try adding an extra teaspoon or so to give a bit more "oomph")
3. Don't overmix the batter, it makes tough little rockcakes! -mix ingredients until just moistened (don't worry about the little lumpy bits!)
4. Fill your muffin pans 2/3 - 3/4 full, for good sized muffins.
5. Lastly, when making blueberry muffins (or any similar fruit muffins), drain your fruit well first and pat with paper-towel, to avoid making soggy purple dumplings!
Good luck and happy baking! ;o)
