Brown Butter Blueberry Muffins


I found this recipe in the March issue of Woman's Day. They were very good. Moist and not overly sweet with just a hint of the brown butter also. I would makes these again especially in the summer when fresh blueberries are in season here. I used fresh blueberries in these muffins also. I rarely use frozen ones. No reason that I don't use them but I just prefer fresh whenever possible. I have definitely been in a blogging slump recently. I came across another food blog last night and that blogger also was saying how she just has not been inspired lately and I can certainly relate. I think anyone that has been blogging for several years goes through this every now and again. In the meantime, enjoy these muffins and I am hoping to get "inspired" again soon!!!!

2 cups all purpose flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp kosher salt

1/2 cup plus 2 Tbs granulated sugar

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter

1 cup whole milk

1 large egg, beaten

6 oz fresh blueberries (1 1/2 cups)

Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a 12 cup muffin tin with paper liners or coat with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and 1/2 cup of the sugar; make a well in the center.

Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once it melts, swirl the pan until the butter begins to brown and smell nutty, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Pour the butter, milk and egg into the well of flour and stir to combine (a few lumps in the batter are OK - don't overmix); fold in the blueberries. Divide the batter among the muffin cups; sprinkle with the remaining sugar. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, 16 to 20 minutes. Let cool before unmolding.

I love the flavor that brown butter adds to baked goods and these muffins sound like they'd be out of this world!

Blueberry muffins are my favorite type of muffin...has been since I was a kid.
Inspiration is hard to come by sometimes when you have been doing something day in and day out. It will come back...just give it time. And if it doesn't...there's nothing wrong with that either :)

I've been wanting to make blueberry muffins for a while now. Can't wait for the blueberries to come in season!

Blogging doldrums? Oh, yeah. It happens. Take a break and see if you don't come back with much more enthusiasm and excitement for your blog.

Smiles, about the blogging slump. I just can't seem to find the time I want/need to devote to my blog and my blogging friends. I have pictures on discs that I've saved from a year ago LOL that someday I will blog (or not, as so much time has gone by LOL).

In the meantime, fun to visit you when I can. LOVE blueberry muffins. YUM!!!
