Yogurt Blueberry Muffins Recipe

Total Time: 35 mins

INGREDIENTS

• 1 + 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
• 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 large egg, at room temperature
• 3/4 cup plain yogurt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 + 1/2 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a 12-tin muffin pan with cupcake liners, or spray with cooking spray.
2. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
3. Use a stand mixer or a hand mixer to cream together the butter and sugar in a large bowl, until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in egg, then add yogurt and vanilla and beat until combined. The batter will be lumpy.
4. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and beat until just combined, and no dry flour particles are visible. Fold in the blueberries (reserve 1/4 cup of them for the top of the muffins).
5. Use a medium to large cookie scoop and divide batter evenly into the lines, filling them all the way to the top. Press remaining blueberries on top.
6. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to continue cooling.

Blueberry Cinnamon Roll Recipe

Total Time: 150 mins

INGREDIENTS

FOR THE DOUGH:

• 300 grams all-purpose flour (2.5 cups)
• 6 grams instant yeast, (2 teaspoons)
• 3 grams salt (1/2 teaspoon)
• 24 grams sugar (2 tablespoons)
• 120 grams milk (1/2 cup), at room temperature
• 28 grams unsalted butter (2 tablespoons), softened at room temperature
• 1 egg

FOR THE BLUEBERRY CINNAMON FILLING:

• 28 grams unsalted butter (2 tablespoons), softened at room temperature
• 36 grams sugar (3 tablespoons)
• 12 grams ground cinnamon (1.5 tablespoons)
• 1 cup fresh blueberries

FOR CREAM CHEESE ICING:

• 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened at room temperature
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)
• 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar

INSTRUCTIONS

PREPARE THE DOUGH:

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, yeast, salt and sugar until evenly combined.
2. Add in milk, butter and egg. Stir well with a spatula until no dry flour is visible. Make sure to scrape off any remaining flour on the sides of the bowl.
3. Transfer the dough mixture onto a clean and dry surface. Knead the dough for 5 minutes until it turns into a soft and smooth dough ball. Because of the high fat content (butter and milk) in this recipe, the dough is much easier to knead by hand and does not require a stand mixer.

PROOF THE DOUGH (FIRST RISE):

1. Transfer the dough back into the mixing bowl, lightly grease the dough ball with a little bit of oil and cover with a lid. Let it rise at room temperature for 1 hour or until it doubles in size. Covering the dough with oil will help prevent the dough from losing moisture and drying out.

ASSEMBLE THE CINNAMON ROLLS:

1. Place the dough onto a lightly floured surface and use a rolling pin roll it out to a rectangle approximately 20×12-inches in size.
2. Gently spread softened butter evenly over the surface of the rolled out dough.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture evenly on top of the dough, and add blueberries evenly over top.
4. Roll up the dough tightly into a log and pinch the edges on the end to seal.
5. Use a knife or bench scraper to cut the log into 9 even, about 2 inches wide each. Arrange the rolls cut side up into a greased 8-inch square pan.

SECOND RISE:

1. Cover the pan with plastic cling wrap or enclose it completely in a large sealed ziploc bag. Let it rise (second rise) for 45 minutes or until the rolls almost doubles in size.
2. Make ahead tip: Optionally, you can let the rolls rise slowly in the sealed ziploc bag in the refrigerator overnight and bake it the next day in a preheated oven for fresh cinnamon rolls in the morning.

BAKE THE CINNAMON ROLLS: 

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
2. Bake for 30 minutes until golden brown and let it cool for 10 minutes.

MAKE THE CREAM CHEESE ICING:

1. Combine cream cheese, milk, honey and confectioners’ sugar in a bowl and mix well with a handheld mixer (or with a whisk) until the mixture becomes smooth.
2. Drizzle the cream cheese icing over cinnamon rolls and serve.

Lemon Blueberry Bread Recipe

Total: 65 mins

INGREDIENTS

• 1 + 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (200 grams)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup milk (120 grams)
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil (70 grams)
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 lemon, juiced and zested
• 1 + 1/2 cups fresh blueberries, divided

FOR THE LEMON GLAZE:

• ½ cup icing sugar
• 1-2 tablespoons lemon juice

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Lightly grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan (1 lb. loaf pan) with cooking spray oil.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients including flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Whisk together until evenly distributed and set aside.
3. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk well to combine the wet ingredients including milk, oil, egg, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix together using a rubber spatula until just combined and no dry ingredients are visible. Do not overmix (overmixing will make the bread denser and firmer). Fold in 1 cup of blueberries until evenly mixed.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and add the remaining 1/2 cup blueberry on top.
6. Bake for 55 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool for 10-15 minutes, then invert to remove the loaf.
7. Serve warm or at room temperature. Drizzle with glaze if desired.

LEMON GLAZE:

1. In a small bowl, add the icing sugar. Slowly add in the lemon juice and continually stir until smooth and desired consistency is achieved. The icing should be thick but can still be poured. If the icing is too runny, add more sugar. If it is too thick, add some more lemon juice.
2. Evenly drizzle glaze over the lemon loaf and allow it to set and dry before slicing the loaf. To completely coat the loaf, then double the amount of icing.

Blueberry Baked Oatmeal

Prep Time: 10 mins – Cook Time: 50 mins – Total Time: 1 hour – Serves 8

• 

• 

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed + 6 tablespoons warm water
• 2 cups whole rolled oats
• ½ cup slivered almonds
• ½ cup hemp seeds
• ⅔ cup coconut flakes
• 1/4 cup brown sugar or coconut sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• ¾ teaspoon sea salt
• ¾ cup almond milk, at room temp
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil
• 1 banana, chopped
• 1 cup strawberries, sliced
• ½ cup blueberries

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray an 8×8-inch (or similar) baking dish with cooking spray.
• In a small bowl, combine the flaxseed and warm water and set aside to thicken for about 5 minutes.
• Reserve 2 tablespoons of the almonds, hemp seeds and coconut flakes and set aside. In a large bowl combine the oats, the remaining almonds, hemp seeds and coconut flakes, and the baking powder, cinnamon, brown sugar and salt.
• In a medium bowl, combine the almond milk, maple syrup and coconut oil and whisk to combine. Stir in the flaxseed mixture and blend until smooth.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir to combine.
• Layer the bananas and strawberries in the baking dish and spread the oat mixture on top. Sprinkle with the blueberries and the reserved almonds, hemp seeds and coconut flakes.
• Bake for 40-50 minutes or until the top is crisp and the middle is set. I find it easiest to wedge a knife in and make sure the middle has thickened nicely. Remove and let cool for 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

If you’d like to reduce the sugar in this recipe, omit the brown sugar and use 1/3 cup maple syrup.

If blueberries aren’t in season, use frozen berries, or swap in your favorite seasonal fruit.
