• Blueberry Muffins

    I can never really distinguish between muffins and cupcakes when it comes down to it. I mean the way they are both mixed are different and I guess muffins are a little rough in texture. Well compared to what I achieved, It was closer to a cupcake than a muffin even if the latter is what I was going for. Ah well who cares as long as the blueberry muffins taste awesome right? I always buy blueberries and never end up finishing them before they go bad. This time I was determined to do something different with them instead of wasting it. Being in a masters program that focuses on social entrepreneurship, I have to be socially conscious and get creative about how I handle everything around me. Food wastage is not an option!

    Blueberries are also considered a superfood and a great antioxidant which means it helps rid your body of toxins. There are claims that it helps reduce belly fat. I would assume consumed on it’s own yes probably not in this recipe. Also I would assume you would not make blueberry muffins everyday either. It’s for those special once in a while moments. There are also claims that it preserves your vision and improves your brain health. It would be a great recipe for kids to help them eat fruits they may not normally eat. In summary, blueberries are great for you. I had my Instagram followers guess what I made by uploading the picture and some people guessed right and others were close. Well I did promise them I would upload the recipe so here it is.

    P:S: You can always chop any berry and use it in this recipe.

        I think I added a bit too much milk, the batter needs to be thicker i’m assuming. I would try again with a little less milk 🙂
