Whole Wheat Goodness

Thursdays are my Mommy's Bible study morning and today I was reminded that "yes I do in fact have a blog" and maybe I should post more consistently, or at least more than once every few months:-) So, when the little lady fell asleep before I even left the driveway of our lovely Bible study host I decided that God was allowing my some free time and I should take advantage of it by posting the recipe I adapted for some really scrumptious muffins this morning.

I am working to empty our freezer of last years stores so that I can begin to fill it up with all the yummy produce and fresh fish we will be soon getting out of the garden and Atlantic Ocean:-) As such, I am plowing though frozen blackberries and blueberries. I wanted to make a baked good incorporating one of these for the girls today and decided on blueberry muffins, because really who doesn't love a good blueberry muffin? Well, I also realized that I did not have white flour only whole wheat. So I did a quick search for whole wheat muffins and came up with this.

Unfortunately I also didn't have milk but I did have yogurt, basically the same thing right?! I also had a jar of homemade applesauce from Jon's grandma so I was on my way. Of course, I didn't want to use veggie oil and I wanted to add a few oats but I mean a recipe is a suggestion right?

So a few substitutions and 20 min later I had lovely moist muffins that were healthy and perfect for discussing Easter and parenting on a Thursday morning...not to say you can't have these on a Saturday...or at night...discussing the weather...or not even talking at all...or by yourself.

Hmmmm....feel free to make or not make this at anytime to

eat anywhere with anyone.

Whole Wheat Blueberry (Applesauce and Oat) Muffins

1 1/2 C Whole Wheat Flour

3/4 C Sugar

1/2 t Salt

2 t Baking powder

1/3 C Butter

1 Egg

1/3 C Yogurt

1/2 C Applesauce

1 C Frozen but thawed blueberries (preferably ones you have bought in July from Antlered Acres and frozen for use all year round...just sayin;-)

Pre-heat oven to 400 and grease your muffin tin or use cute little paper cups like I did.

Mix flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder in large bowl. Mix egg, yogurt, applesauce, and soft or melted butter in separate bowl. Mix wet and dry together and

then mix in blueberries gently trying to not break them too much.

Fill muffin cups 2/3 full and bake for 20-30 min.

Enjoy!

I don't have a picture of the muffins because I wasn't planning on this post but I do have a picture of this...

And isn't that just as sweet...
