Ladybug wanted make lemon sauce. Sauce is her favorite thing she wants to make, it is usually a random list of ingredients that she mixes in a bowl. Instead, I decided that we should make muffins and Ladybug asked for lemon blueberry muffins - score!
I wanted to make a whole wheat muffins so in steps the internet to save me :) Cooks.com was happy enough to spit out a few choice from which I decided to make Oatmeal n' Wheat Blueberry Muffins and then I made modifications. I apparently I can't look at a recipe without modifying it.
Oatmeal Whole Wheat Blueberry Muffins

1 1/4 cup Buttermilk or 1tbsp + 3/4tsp of lemon juice and then fill up to 1 1/4cup of milk

1/4 cup Oil
1 Egg
1/2 tsp Lemon Extract
1 1/2 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Nutmeg
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
1 cup Blueberries

*In a small bowl add flour, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon.
*Add the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients until just mixed and then add blueberries.
*Fill muffin cups 2/3 full and bake for 20-25 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
Mummy's helper, she measured out the flour and I didn't even double check it was right, I though about it but didn't :) As you she did manage to get some on her knee, but overall a fairly mess free exercise.
Here are all the wet ingredients. I think I need a 3 or 4 cup measuring cup since I really like mixing in it; it make one less bowl to wash.
In the oven.
Don't those look nice. I opted to grease the pan rather then line it since I still have to grease the cups. If I don't then I lose a lot of muffin to the liner.
They came out really well. Only one broke coming out of the pan.
