Total time: 45 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar or raw sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup toasted pecans
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup fresh or solidly frozen blueberries
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Lightly grease 12 standard-size muffin pan cups or spritz with nonstick cooking spray, or if you prefer, insert a crinkly muffin liner into each cup. Set pans aside.
- Combine first five ingredients (all-purpose flour through salt) in medium mixing bowl.
- Add pecans, toss well, then make well in center of dry ingredients and set aside.
- Whisk milk, butter and egg mixture in small bowl until smooth, then mix in blueberries.
- Pour into well in dry ingredients, and stir only enough to combine—specks of flour should be visible in batter.
- Spoon batter into muffin pans, dividing amount equally—each muffin pan cup will be approximately two-thirds full, though occasionally a bit more or a bit less.
- Slide onto middle oven shelf and bake 20 to 25 minutes until muffins have risen and their tops are nicely rounded and evenly browned.
- Serve oven-hot with plenty of unsalted butter.
