Weekend Calorie Splurge: Blueberry Muffins

These are SO. GOOD.

I did the math.  It breaks down to 1 T sugar per muffin.  Not exactly healthy, but much better than other muffin recipes.  Besides, these muffins are for the weekend.  Health takes a break on the weekend in our house.  Wine consumption, however, never sleeps.

OK, let's do this:

Blueberry Muffins
adapted from Smitten Kitchen
makes 12 muffin
total time 35 min


5 T unsalted butter , softened
2/3 c sugar
1 large egg
3/4 c full fat plain yogurt
1 T lemon zest

----------------------------------
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 c blueberries, fresh or frozen (if frozen, simply rinse off any ice)


Preheat oven to 375ºF.  Line a muffin tin with 12 paper liners.

Combine butter and sugar in your little food processor and run until fluffy.  Add egg, then yogurt and lemon.  Transfer to a mixing bowl.

Combine dry ingredients with a sifter or whisk.  Slowly mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients.

 Fill muffin tins 3/4 of the way.  Bake for 25 min.  Enjoy with butter and coffee.
