Microwave Blueberry Muffins

Submitted by fluffernutter

"Hard to believe, but you can microwave these muffins in just 2 minutes. I know, I know, I didn't believe it either, and I've been baking semi-professionally for 15 years. Great solutions for midsummer baking, and children can bake their own! The batter recipe is from the Enchanted Broccoli Forest by Mollie Katzen. I usually substitute whole wheat flour and a little flax seed meal for a portion of the white flour. The yield was supposedly 12, but I've never gotten more than 8 or 10 muffins from it."

 

• Ready In: 12mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 cups unbleached white flour
• 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄3 cup honey
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1⁄3 cup milk or 1/3 cup buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 cup fresh blueberries or 1 cup frozen blueberries

directions

1. Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Melt the honey and butter together. Stir in the milk, egg and lemon juice. Combine the wet ingredient and the dry ingredients and mix a little. Add the blueberries and mix gently until no white streaks of flour remain.
2. Coat a plastic muffin tin or 6 1-cup Pyrex custard cups with nonstick cooking spray. Fill cups half full of batter. Microwave five or six at a time for about 2 1/2 minutes for an 1100-watt microwave. (Start checking at about 2 minutes.) When they look set, they're done. Let stand 3 to 5 minutes to firm up. Turn out of tins/cups.
