Ingredients

Whole Wheat Flour - 1 & 1/2 cup minus 3 tablespoon
Blueberries - 1 cup
Corn flour - 3 tablespoon
Buttermilk - 1 cup + 1 tablespoon
Sunflower Oil - 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon
Brown Muscovado Sugar - 3/4 cup
Baking powder - 1 tsp
Baking soda - 1/2 tsp
Vanilla essence - 1 tsp

Preparation

• Wash and dry the blueberries. Mix them with a tsp of flour and keep aside.
• Measure the whole wheat flour and remove three tablespoon flour... Add three tablespoon of corn flour now... Mix it well... Sift together Whole WheatFlour and Cornflour mix twice.
• Measure everything else and keep it ready…
• Line a muffin tray with paper cup cake liners.

Method

1. Preheat oven to 170 degree celcius…
2. In a mixing bowl add the sugar. To it add the vanilla essence and buttermilk… Whisk it well until the sugar dissolves.
3. Add the oil and whisk again.
4. To this wet mixture add both the baking soda and baking powder and whisk. You will see bubbles appearing.
5. Now add the sifted whole wheat, Corn flour mixture in increments. Fold it in until the batter is lumpfree. Do not overdo this step.Do it lightly but ensure flour is mixed.
6. Finally add the blueberries… Mix it into the batter.
7. Fill the cupcake liners upto ¾’th level.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes clean.

Notes

1. Mixing cornflour to the Wholewheat flour ensures a light airy textured muffin. Plain wheat flour will result in a dense muffin.
2. I used Buttermilk - Can try with Curd or yoghurt too… To make buttermilk - To a cup of room temperature milk I added a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and mixed it well… This is baking buttermilk.
3. Do not overmix the wheat flour. If gluten starts forming the muffin will be dense…
4. I tried it with brown muscovado sugar… If you don't have this sugar use regular white sugar… Final muffin will be light in colour though.
5. If blueberries are unavailable can substitute with chopped apples... Use half a teaspoon of cinnamon powder as it's flavour goes well with apple. Or tutty fruity can be used instead of blueberries... even chocolate chips too...
