Ingredients:


(makes 12 small muffins)


250g plain flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 egg, lightly beaten

60ml vegetable oil

Wash and drain blueberries. Dry with paper towels and toss them in a tablespoon of flour.

Place egg, oil, milk, sugar and vanilla extract in a bowl. With a manual whisk, whisk until thoroughly combined.

Sieve together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a mixing bowl. Make a well in the centre.

Pour the liquid mixture into the dry mixture. With a spatula, gently fold all the ingredients to form a wet batter. Mix until the flour is just incorporate into the batter. Add the blueberries and fold in gently. DO NOT over mix. The batter should appear lumpy.

Let cool on a wire rack. Serve warm.
