Cooking for One Recipes: Blueberry Muffins

^[1]

Welcome to Cooking For One Recipes ^[2]!  This series is designed for those of us who don’t need recipes for big meals- just enough for one person to eat without a ton of leftovers.  Or, if you are feeding a large family, you can certainly alter the recipes to whatever amount of people you need!

For those of you who use Pinterest ^[3] I have created a board that will have all the recipes from this series.  Be sure to follow it ^[3]!

1  1/2 cups all purpose flour                                    1/3 cup milk

3/4 cup white sugar                                                  1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

1/2 tspn salt                                                                1/2 cup white sugar

2. Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 3/4 cup sugar, salt, and baking powder and set aside.

5. To make crumb topping: mix together 1/2 cup sugar, 1/3 cup flour, 1/4 cup butter and 1 1/2 tspn cinnamon. Mix with a fork, and sprinkle over muffins before baking.

6. Bake for 20-25 minutes.

Note: This recipe makes 8 muffins. The muffins freeze really well. I usually keep a couple out for breakfast during the week and freeze the rest for a later date.
