Servings: 10
Equipment
- muffin tray
- muffin liners
- mixing bowls
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk non-dairy
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 2/3 cups self-raising flour
- 1/4 teaspoon sodium bicarbonate (baking soda)
- 1/3 cup sunflower oil (or another neutral flavoured oil)
- 3/4 cup caster sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
- optional icing sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 350F/180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Line a muffin tin with muffin cases.
- Begin by mixing the lemon juice into the milk, which may curdle. This is an important part of the process.
- In one bowl mix the flour and bicarbonate of soda together.
- In another bowl mix the oil, sugar and the vanilla together and stir until very well combined.
- Mix the oil mixture into the dry flour mix, stirring gently whilst doing so. Carefully add in the milk mixture and stir until everything is combined.
- Add in the blueberries. Stir as little as possible to mix them into the batter. Overmixing will result in the blueberries turning everything blue.
- Using a scoop, spoon the batter gently into the muffin cases filling them to about 3/4 full. This batter should fill approximately 10 cases.
- Place on the middle shelf of your pre-heated oven. Cook for 15 minutes.
- Once fifteen minutes have elapsed check to see whether the muffins have cooked through using a skewer to do so. They may need up to twenty minutes altogether to be cooked through.
- Once they are done, take them out of the oven and leave on a cooling rack to completely cool. Once cooled, you can add an optional dusting of icing sugar.
