Wholegrain Blueberry Muffins

Even after a year and a half of post­ing on SPC we’re still some­times shocked by the holes in our recipe ros­ter. Gap­ing maws when you really take a look at it. No hum­mus? Ridicu­lous! No gua­co­mole? Who are we? No straight up mac & cheese? What?! All I can tell you is that we’re cook­ing as fast as we can. And obvi­ously we love know­ing what you want to see on the site, so keep the requests com­ing. They may spend some time with their friends on the end of a very long list but we always take note! Here’s one that made it to the top. The kids and I were over at my friend Victoria’s place the other day for a play date and she pointed out that we don’t have a blue­berry muf­fin recipe. I had to think about it for a minute but I real­ized she’s right. We’ve done blue­berry crum­bles, bars and cakes — but no muffins.

I thought about doing clas­sic blue­berry muffins but I just couldn’t do it. Victoria’s gor­geous kids, Thomas and Vita, need bet­ter than basic for heaven’s sake! And so do your kids. These ones are so much bet­ter. The mix of whole­wheat flour, oats and flax meal makes them healthy enough for break­fast but they’re really yummy and moist so if you’re look­ing for a treat at 3 pm they do the trick then, too. They’re really easy to make and are the per­fect after school project to do with kids. I’m sure they’ll be served the next time we go to Thomas and Vita’s place, don’t you think?
