Eggs and Muffins

Even though the visit was short, we got to see some of our very dear friends last night. They brought us eggs from their local farm.


I made them muffins for their trip back home today. Andy said the muffins were good ...... if you add plenty of butter and honey! What am I going to do with him?

Healthy Blueberry Muffins*

1 C whole wheat flour
1 C white flour
2 t baking powder
1/4 t salt
1/2 C "Wholesome" dark brown sugar
2 farm fresh eggs
1 C buttermilk
1/4 vegetable oil
1 t vanilla
1 1/2 C blueberries

Topping
1 T brown sugar
1/4 C oatmeal

Preheat oven to 375 F. Slightly grease (I use Pam spray) 12 muffin cups. Mix dry ingredients in large bowl; set aside. In another bowl, slightly beat eggs; then add buttermilk, oil and vanilla and mix well. Add to dry ingredients, gently stirring just till combined. Fold in blueberries. I like to use a large cookie scoop to fill the muffin cups. Combine brown sugar with the oatmeal and sprinkle on top of muffins, pressing down slightly. Bake for 18 - 21 minutes or till a toothpick comes out clean. Watch them close in the last few minutes, as I found that mine were "suddenly done!" Enjoy warm from the oven and, by all means, take Andy's advice if you wish!
