[French Tart]

Hmmmm.........I made these as I love blueberries and oats....I used 1/2 cup of blueberries, as I don't measure fruit in pints. I felt there were way too many ingredients in this recipe, and the muffins were very dense - not unpleasant at all, but very heavy and sweet. I don't think we readily get egg substitute in France, I did not look for it however, as I had some very nice free-range eggs in the pantry. I did happen to have some maple syrup extract, a gift from a Canadian chum - but it was not evident in the flavour at all. Overall, not unpleasant in flavour but very typical of American style muffins.........sweet and very dense - I was hoping for a lighter and more oaty texture. My muffins took about 25 minutes to cook - and were still a little doughy in the middle. I might be persuaded to try this recipe again with less sugar, less raising ingredients and no maple extract.
