Half recipe: 1/3 cup buttermilk 2 Tbsp coconut oil or butter ¾ cup blueberries ½ tsp vanilla 2 eggs 2 Tbsp brown sugar 2 Tbls white sugar ¼ tsp salt 1 cup flour 1 Tbsp cornstarch ¾ tsp baking soda

Preheat oven to 400° F, and spray a muffin tin with non-stick spray, or use paper liners.

In a blender, combine the buttermilk, butter/oil, blueberries, vanilla extract, eggs, and brown sugar. Blend until mostly smooth.

In a medium mixing bowl, mix together the white sugar, flour, baking soda, and corn starch. Add the liquid mixture, beating on low speed, or during by hand, until it is mixed. Don't stir for too long.

Fill the muffin tin. Bake for 12-15 minutes.

2 cups flour ¼ cup sugar ¼ cup brown sugar ½ tsp salt ½ Tbsp baking soda 1 cup milk, water, or nut milk ½ cup butter or coconut oil 1 egg 1 Tbsp lemon juice 1 tsp vanilla or orange extract (optional)

Preheat oven to 450° F. Grease a muffin tin, or put in paper baking cups.

Stir together the flour, sugars, salt, and baking soda.

In a small bowl, melt the butter/coconut oil. Add the milk/water/nut milk, egg, lemon juice, and vanilla/orange extract. Whisk until completely combined.

Pour the liquid into the flour mixture, stirring until just combined. Divide evenly into the muffin cups, about ¼ cup each.

Bake for 5 minutes, then reduce the heat to 400° F and bake for 10-12 minutes, until a tester comes out clean.

Makes 10-12 regular sized muffins. Cooking times will be shorter for small muffins and longer for large muffins.

Variations

Add to the dry ingredients 1 to 1 ½ cups of a filling, such as dried fruit, chocolate chips, chopped nuts, berries, chopped fresh or frozen fruit, rolled oats or barley. Use honey instead of sugar. Add 2 Tbsp cocoa powder. Add 2-3 tsp of spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cardamom, etc. Add 2 Tbsp each of poppy seeds and lemon zest.

This is meant to be a basic recipe that can be customized as you wish for different flavors.

2 cups flour ½ cup oats 4 tsp baking powder ½ cup honey ¼ cup apple sauce 1 ¼ cup milk ¾ cup peanut butter

Preheat oven to 400° F. Mix the dry ingredients together, then add the wet ingredients, excluding the peanut butter, and stir until just mixed. Let the batter sit for a minute or so, so the baking powder can start working it, then stir in the peanut butter. Spoon into greased muffin tins and bake for 15-20 minutes. Makes 12.

The peanut flavor is not overpowering, nor is it grossly sweet. The texture is light and fluffy, and perfectly moist. They kept the moisture for a number of days after baking them (store in an airtight container).

Variations:

Add 2 Tbsp cocoa powder. Use any kind of nut butter you want. Use flavored apple sauce. Use a fruit butter instead of applesauce.
