Craftzine.com blog : Recipe: Huckleberry Muffins (or Love Triumphs)

By Shawn Connally
Two of my favorite things to eat have nothing to do with how delicious they taste, and everything to do with the sappy sentiment attached to them.

Huckleberry Muffins
(adapted from Muffins in New Recipes from Moosewood Restaurant)

Ingredients
1.75 cups whole wheat pastry flour, unbleached white flour, or a mixture
2.5 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup honey or sugar
1 egg
1 cup freshly picked huckleberries, rinsed off and drained

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Generously butter a 12-cup muffin tin. (I use canola spray.)

In a medium bowl thoroughly mx the dry ingredients.

In a smaller bowl lightly beat the egg with the milk, oil, and honey or sugar, then add this to the dry ingredients all at once.

Stir until the batter is just barely mixed.

Spoon the batter into the muffin tin.

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Variations

Fold 1 cup drained blueberries (fresh, frozen, or canned) into the batter.

Add 3/4 cup of grated sharp cheddar cheese and omit the honey or sugar.

Add a handful of chopped fresh herbs (chives, thyme, rosemary, oregano) and omit the honey or sugar.

1 heaping tsp. vanilla
2 cups flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. soda
1 cup frozen blueberries, OR, huckleberries

Cream together butter, sugar and vanilla.

Add in flour until moistened.
Fold in berries.

Spray muffin tins with non-stick spray and fill muffin tins and bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes (OR until toothpick inserted in comes out clean)
After they have cooled slightly, I always put my muffins in a Rubbermaid container to keep them moist

(PS…the containers of Berries you get from Bountiful Baskets are yummy to put in as well–Blackberries were really good!)

ALSO…I made a batch using 1/2 cup of wheat flour and 1-1/2 cups unbleached white flour and that turned out yummy as well too. Versatile recipe!
