Booberry Muffins

Okay, I really mean blueberry, but booberry is funner to say. I accidentally said it earlier actually. boo-berry. Plus if it were halloween, it would sound nice and spooky.

When Heather, Jane, and Scott were here, we went blueberry picking on Bellevue way. It was so fun! Jane was trying to run away from us and steal blueberries jamming them in her mouth. It was awesome. She could pick them and put them in the bucket. We tried to teach her they have to be paid for first. It's hard with a 1 year old though. So, this recipe is using those blueberries! Picked by my niece. Way fun.

I looked at several recipes and put them all together and came up with this. (P.S. it's VERY delicious. I am feeling pretty awesome right now because I was craving a delicious muffin and got it. YEsssss. 1 point sarah, 0 points undelicious muffins)

1 lightly beaten egg

1/2 c. white flour

1/2 c. whole wheat pastry flour (or just do all white)

1/2 c. brown sugar

1/2 c. white sugar

1/4 c. oil

1 c. sour cream (I used light)

1 t. vanilla

1/2 t. baking soda

1/2 t. baking powder

2 cups blueberries (unless you don't want so many. I'll let you decide)

Mix everything together except blueberries and then fold in booberries. Put in muffin tins (use paper cups or grease accordingly). Sprinkle lightly with white sugar. Bake at 350 F for about 20-25 minutes. Should feel firm to touch and be a darker golden color or use the toothpick test. Remove from oven and let cool in tins for a few minutes, then remove from tins for further cooling.

Mine fell/collapsed a little, so there is room for improvement. But I didn't care because it wasn't that much and they were so delicious. I love these muffins because I they are full of blueberries and normally blueberry muffins do not have enough blueberries and are to muffin bready. I also love them because they are dense and moist. So, if you are not in to either of these two muffin characteristics, you may want to find another recipe, or just do less (or no) sour cream and less blueberries.

I should say I did sprinkle in a bit of salt, but just because I felt I had to. I don't know what purpose salt serves in baked goods...which proves I do not know a lot about this subject, but I felt bad not doing it since it's in every recipe so I gave it a little dash. Not a measured spoonful or anything, just a dash.
