Blueberry Muffin

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons baking powder

1/2 cup sugar

1 stick unsalted butter, melted

1 egg, slightly beaten

3/4 cup whole milk

1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries

1/2 cup granulated brown sugar or white sugar

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.

In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and sugar. In another bowl, combine butter, egg, and milk and mix well. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and with a spatula, stir until just combined. Do not beat or over mix; it's okay if there are lumps in the batter. Gently fold the blueberries into the batter.
Spoon the batter into the muffin tray, filling each cup about 2/3 full. Bake for 10 minutes and remove from the oven. Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with the granulated brown or white sugar and return the muffins to the oven to bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Cool for about 10 minutes in the pan before turning the muffins out. foodnetwork.com

Time-Saving Preparations For Breakfast

You may not always have time to fix yourself or the kids a good breakfast. Learn how to use your time wisely and don’t skip this important meal.

1. Prepare the night before. Laying out clothes, checking backpacks and even packing lunches and setting the breakfast table ahead of time gives you a less frenzied start to your day.
2. Get up 15 minutes earlier in the morning. You'll be surprised at how much more relaxed you'll be with those extra minutes. Now, you can enjoy breakfast with your family.
3. Leave the television off and eliminate a major distraction.
4. Have breakfast alternatives ready. Frozen whole wheat waffles, oatmeal, healthy cereals, and eggs boiled the night before. This gives you variety which keeps you from getting bored with the same old thing. Read more at ebonyjet.com wellness.
