To warm you....

on a chilly day. Here is a super easy recipe for basic muffins. The best part is that you add in the flavors you want.



INGREDIENTS
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup white sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk
1 egg
1/3 cup butter, melted (I substitue half applesauce here to keep calories down)
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries or chopped apples or chocolate chips or skip the fruit and use a dash of cinnamon or chopped peaches... you get the idea here.

DIRECTIONS
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add milk, egg, and butter; mix until ingredients are moistened, do not overbeat. Stir in fresh fruit. Spoon batter into twelve greased muffin cups.
Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until tops spring back when lightly touched. Serve warm.
