I made a video about the muffins that a lot of people had asked questions about. Hopefully, I answered some of your questions!

Please note this recipe is *Raspberry Muffins*. But I was showing how you can use the original recipe and use whichever fruit you would like

🫐 Blueberry Muffins 🫐
A tried-and-true recipe from Nancy Grimm that I’ve made many times over the years 💛 I almost always double the batch because they disappear so quickly in our house!

Ingredients:
• 1½ cups flour
• ½ cup white sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 egg
• ½ cup milk
• ¼ cup salad oil
• 1 cup blueberries

Directions:
Mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, egg, milk, and oil to make a batter.

Add the blueberries last. I like to sprinkle a little flour over the blueberries before gently stirring them into the batter so they don’t sink. Spoon into a greased muffin pan.

The original recipe says to bake at 400°F for 20 minutes, but here’s what I do in my kitchen 👩‍🍳✨
I use olive oil instead of salad oil, and I bake them at 425°F for 5 minutes first, then lower the temperature to 350°F and bake another 10–12 minutes. I find this gives them a beautiful bakery-style rise!

Enjoy 💙

Just call me the muffin man (lady)! This is literally the best muffin recipe in the world! You can easily substitute whichever fruit you would like!
These are raspberry muffins! I used the below recipe but with raspberries instead of 🫐 blueberries! And they were also frozen! Today, I also ran out of 2% milk so I used oat milk and they are still very good!

As Alex MacLaren Mac.larena says "we use what we have!"
Thanks for your inspiration! Alex!

🍌🧁 Dorothy’s Lunchbox Banana Oat Muffins 🧁🍌

I call these my *Lunchbox Muffins* because they are wholesome, filling, and the PERFECT size to tuck into my kids’ lunchboxes 💛✨

I’ve made these muffins more times than I can count over the years, and they are truly one of my tried-and-tested family favourites 🙌 They’re soft, naturally sweet, freezer-friendly, and made with simple ingredients I usually already have at home. Busy mornings are always a little easier when I have a batch of these waiting in the freezer 🥰

They make a great breakfast, after-school snack, or quick grab-and-go bite with coffee ☕🍌

🛒 Ingredients

* 1 large egg 🥚
* 1/2 cup light brown sugar
* 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
* 1/3 cup full fat milk 🥛
* 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce 🍎
* 2 tbsp honey 🍯
* 2 tsp vanilla extract
* 1 cup mashed banana (about 2 large bananas) 🍌
* 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
* 1 tsp baking soda
* 2 tsp baking powder
* 1/2 tsp salt
* 1 tsp cinnamon ✨
* 1 cup quick oats 🌾

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F and grease a muffin tin or line it with muffin liners 🧁

2. In a large bowl, whisk together:

* egg
* brown sugar
* Greek yogurt
* milk
* applesauce
* honey
* vanilla
Mix until smooth and combined 🤍

3. Mash your bananas until mostly smooth and stir them into the wet mixture 🍌

4. In a separate bowl, combine:

* whole wheat flour
* baking soda
* baking powder
* salt
* cinnamon
* oats

5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir *just until combined* — don’t overmix 😊

6. Divide the batter evenly into your muffin tin, filling each cup right to the top.

7. Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and continue baking for another 8–10 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean ✨

These muffins freeze beautifully, so I almost always make a double batch 💛
