Jumbo Whole Wheat Blueberry Muffins

Drescription

I received free blueberries recently. I admit I never actually tasted a real one before. Always the boxed muffin kind. I loved them. Recently switched to whole wheat, so I wanted to try a new muffin recipe out. This is the one that not only turned out great, but filling as well. When I was eating it, I was craving eggs. Next time I will have to remember to throw in a fried egg or two on the side. I made 6 jumbo muffins.

Ingredients

1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
½ cup white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup skim milk
1 egg
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cups fresh blueberries
½ cup brown sugar (optional)
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 6 jumbo muffin cups with paper liners.
Whisk whole wheat flour, white sugar, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt together in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk skim milk, egg, softened butter, and vegetable oil. Mix the liquid ingredients into the whole wheat flour mixture to make a smooth batter, and gently fold in blueberries. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them to the top.
Combine brown sugar with 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a bowl and spoon the mixture onto the muffins, if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.

Green Goddess Tuna Salad

Canned tuna makes this recipe convenient and pantry-friendly while also offering an impressive punch of protein and omega-3 fatty acids. Salmon, sardines or mackerel would work just as well in this quick recipe. Use the remaining herb sauce as a dressing for salads or grain bowls, as a spread on sandwiches or as a dip for vegetables. This recipe is easily doubled to make a big batch to meal-prep for the week. Serve on bread, in a wrap, over a bed of greens or scooped up with your favorite chips, crackers or cucumber slices.

Oh My Arctic Char!

This arctic char recipe has perfectly balanced flavors. I'm a huge fish fan and always looking for new ways to make fish. I couldn't find any recipe that sounded tasty on the net for arctic char, so I decided to try my cooking talent and come up with my own recipe. My husband and I couldn't believe how delicious this turned out. He wasn't hungry that night and ate most of the fish, haha! This recipe will not disappoint.
