Muffin Mondays - Blueberry Muffins



Until, the holiday of Passover is finished, I will do little baking.  We are clearing out the house of certain food items, one being flour.  For those of you who do not know about Passover, it is a week when we do not eat any leavened products.  I will be glad to fill in the spaces, at another time.  Right now, we are making blueberry muffins. 



Blueberry Sour Cream Muffins


Ingredients:

1 egg
1 cup sugar
4 tablespoons Canola oil
1  cups sou cream
1/4 cup orange juice
2 cups gluten-free flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup frozen blueberries
1/2 cup almonds
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup ground nuts to sprinkle on top

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place liners in a muffin pan. 

In a medium bowl whisk the egg for about 1/2 a minute. 
Add the sugar and whisk until thick, 30 seconds.

Add the vanilla extract and then the oil, mixing after each addition. Add the sour cream in and mix to combine.

In a separate bowl mix together the flour, baking powder and salt.  Mix blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour.  Add the berries and flour plus almonds to batter and mix to combine. Add in the liquid mixture and mix just until combined. Do not overmix! 

Sprinkle nuts on top of batter.

Note that this is a thick batter. Divide the batter evenly between the twelve muffin cups. Bake approximately 25-30 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. 

Place muffins on a wire rack to cool.

    Our supermarket has had the Passover aisles up for a few weeks now. I'm impressed by everyone who's already preparing. I can't get myself geared up for it quite yet!

    Blueberries are my favorite fruit. I like the sour cream and orange juice in these--sounds like a winner. Thanks for linking!

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
