Blueberry Muffins

Yesterday I shared with you how I was tired of cereal for breakfast and I made some muffins. I am going to share the recipe with you today but I thought I would give a little insight into the insanity of making these muffins. I found this recipe on pinterest and sometimes I don't have luck with that but I figured that it would be a good risk to try this recipe, the original recipe can be found here.

I knew I didn't have enough time in the morning to make all of the muffins so I mixed the batter together without the blueberries the night before and put it in the fridge. The batter was a little on the brown side but I will address that a little later, I will give you a hint I added way too much cinnamon.
The inside of these muffins
Blueberry Muffins

1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 cups sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1/2-1/3 cup milk
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp vanilla
1-2 cups blueberries

Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl.
In a 1 cup measuring cup, add the oil, then the egg, and add enough milk to total 1 cup.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir together. At this point my batter was very very brown, not the typical white that you have for muffins.
At this point I tossed the batter into the fridge until morning.
Add the blueberries
All mixed up... looking yummy already
Plop into lined muffin tins, I got 12 muffins out of this.
Bake at 400 for 20-25 (if the batter is cold it will take the whole 25 minutes).
In the oven
Just out of the oven
Ready for me to eat
You may not be able to tell from the photos but I had a blonde moment when I made these. I have mentioned that the batter was a little on the dark side, it is probably because I added 2 tsp of cinnamon instead of the 1 tsp that was recommended. This has made my muffins just a tad on the bitter side but with a little butter they are much more edible.

I have been enjoying these muffins over the last two days and I will have them again tomorrow but I think next time I have a craving for not cereal I will make sure that I have read the recipe at least twice before I start stirring up the batter. I will be sure to share the next baking adventure with you so that you can enjoy it as much as I have.
