Blueberry and Orange Zest Muffin Recipe

I am not a big fan of desserts or sweets, but I just loved the combination of the orange zest and blueberries in this muffin. Perfect for your morning coffee or afternoon tea. So easy and so YUM!

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 and 1/4 cup of self rising flour
• 3/4 cup of sugar
• 1/2 cup of light sour cream - this makes the muffin extra fluffy!
• 6 tablespoon of unsalted butter - at room temperature
• 2 eggs - at room temperature
• 1 teaspoon of a good quality vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon of freshly grated orange zest
• 1 cup of fresh blueberries - I sometimes use the frozen one just because it is easier, just make sure to wash them in a cold water and then dry it properly with paper towel.

STEPS:

1. Preheat oven to 175 Celsius degrees. Spread the spray oil or butter to the muffin tray - this is so the muffins wont stick when its done.

2. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together with a spatula.

3. Gradually add the eggs, sour cream, vanilla extract and orange zest whisk together until the mixture is creamy and thicken. In a separate bowl, pour some of the flour and toss it with the blueberries - this is just so the blueberries will spread evenly later and prevent them for being mushy and sticky.

4. Add the self rising flour into the creamy mixture. But remember DO NOT over mix it otherwise the muffins won't be soft and fluffy. Add the blueberries to the mixture and now do not use the whisk anymore. Use spatula to mix it together, please also make sure not to burst the blueberries.

5. Pour the mixture into the muffins tray and bake for 20 - 25 mins. You can check if it is cooked by inserting a toothpick in the center of the muffins, if its clean that means the muffins are cooked!

Enjoy!
