I had too many blueberries and not a lot of time to eat them, so I went to the index of my King Arthur Baker’s Companion. I was about to go hiking over the weekend and I found that muffins might be just the ticket for car snacks and post-hike calories.
This recipe is very simple and straightforward. (You can find it here on the King Arthur baking site.) The main difference I found from other blueberry muffin bakes was that this one had me crush about a quarter of the blueberries.
The recipes says that it makes about 12 muffins. I made twelve muffins and a small loaf of blueberry muffin with the excess.
This is an incredibly simple recipe (part of the reason I enjoy a muffin recipe is the simplicity). I also learned a fun little fact while working this recipe. At the bottom the recipe informs you that “Muffins left in the pan will steam, creating a tough crust.” While I rarely allow any muffins to sit in a pan for more than like five seconds, this has been something to keep in mind. Especially with larger batches like the Spiced Peach Muffins.
The muffins were a great success and lasted at room temperature throughout the weekend of hiking. I kept several in the fridge while I was gone and had a couple days of breakfasts from them.
