I made this granny square baby blanket for some young friends of mine that had their second baby boy, and thought I'd use it before I washed it for gifting. Since Fall has not officially arrived, let's enjoy some 100% Whole Wheat Blueberry Muffins with some of my pretty blue teacups, two of which I received from Stephanie's Teacup Exchange, from the The Enchanting Rose.
I always keep this basket on my coffee table in the family room, filled with plants. Isn't the Jim Shore "Peace" angel so pretty?
The two teacups on the left were from the teacup exchange from The Enchanting Rose.

100% Whole Wheat Blueberry Muffins
These muffins are so very moist and there are no eggs in the recipe (it's not a mistake!). I was very impressed with how wonderful they are.
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 and 1/4 cups White Whole Wheat Flour or Whole Wheat Flour (what I used)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/3 cup oil
- 1 and 1/2 cups buttermilk
- cinnamon sugar or coarse white sparkling sugar, for topping
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease the cups of a muffin pan; or line with paper baking cups and spray the paper cups.
- Whisk all the dry ingredients,including the blueberries
- In a separate bowl, whisk the vanilla, oil, and buttermilk.
- Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just to combine.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them nearly full.
- Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with the cinnamon sugar or sparkling sugar.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Remove the muffins from the oven, and after 5 minutes, transfer them to a wire rack to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.
This blanket was a fun project using Ice Cream Scoop yarn that I bought on clearance from Michael's. Using variegated yarn makes crocheting much more interesting. Now the blanket is washed and ready to be gifted to the new baby.
I am sharing this with these lovely parties:
