Costco-esque Poppyseed Muffins

I contributed a recipe for these delicious muffins here.

Banana Muffins

These seriously are better than your banana muffin/bread recipe. I dare you to try them. You'll like them much better. They're not dry or mushy.

Here's the recipe that's better that yours ( I promise!!!)

• 1 cup sugar


• 1/3 cup butter, softened


• 2 eggs


• 1 1/2 cups mashed bananas (3 or 4 medium)


• 1/3 cup water


• 1 2/3 cups all purpose flour


• 1 teaspoon baking soda


• 1/2 teaspoon salt


• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1. heat oven to 350 degrees F.


2. Mix sugar and butter in bowl. Stir in eggs until blended. Add bananas and water, beat 30 seconds. Stir in remaining ingredients until moistened.


3. Pour into muffin tins (with cupcake liners). Bake for 18-25 minutes (check to see if done with toothpick)

The Best Blueberry Muffins with a Cinnamon and Sugar topping

Back in June, my mom and my little sister picked bluberries, froze them on a sheet tray, put them in a ziploc, and put them in the freezer. Today, I decided to make bluberry muffins. My last two attempts weren't so succesful, so I was determined to find a good recipe.

Thanks to Vanilla & Lace, I found the perfect recipe. She puts on a streusel topping, but I didn't want to mess with defrosting the butter, so I just ommited that. They were so good. I used bluberries straight from the freezer and they worked so much better than defrosting and draining them- and took no time at all.

Here's the recipe + picture

Blueberry Muffins
makes 10-12

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/3 cup milk (I used skim)
1 egg
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries. (if frozen, do not defrost- just use frozen)
1/3 cup vegetable oil

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line or grease muffin tin.

Combine the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder in mixing bowl.

Place vegetable oil into a 1 cup measuring cup; add the egg, and enough milk to fill the cup.

Mix the oil, milk, and egg mixture into the flour mixture

Fold in blueberries.

Fill muffin tins 2/3 of the way and sprinkle about 1/8 tsp sugar on each one and just a bit of cinnamon.

Bake for about 20 minutes, or until toothpick inserted comes out clean

happy blueberry muffin eating,
