Muffins with blueberries on kefir

Be sure to carefully consider your blueberry choices. If its smell is sour, then the berries have already begun to deteriorate. It is strongly discouraged to use such a product for cooking. You can also add frozen blueberries to the muffins, however, the flavor will not be as bright and intense with them. Sort the blueberries, removing any spoiled fruit. Transfer the berries to a deep bowl and cover with water. Various debris should float to the surface, which could get lost among the blueberries. You can remove it with a piece of waste cloth. Then change the water and leave the blueberries in it for about 15-20 minutes. When the time is up, rinse the berries several times. Place paper towels on the table. Place blueberries on top of them. The towels will absorb all excess moisture from the blueberry surface.

Break the egg into a small but deep plate. Add kefir to it. You can also replace it with milk of any fat content. Pour vegetable oil into a container, you can replace it with butter. Stir the mixture gently with a mixer. If it doesn't end up in your kitchen, use a whisk. As a result, you should get a homogeneous mass.

The flour must be sieved with a sieve. It is advisable to do this several times. Thanks to this step, your baked goods will be fluffy and soft, and the dough itself will be porous and airy. Also, the sieve will not allow various debris to get into the muffins, which may be among the flour. Add baking powder and granulated sugar to the flour. Stir the mixture well. Then add vanilla sugar to it. It will give your baked goods a very pleasant aroma that will immediately awaken your appetite. Mix everything again.

Start gradually adding the dry mixture to the mass of kefir, eggs and butter. It is best to do this in several steps. Stir the dough well after each addition. The best way to do this is with a spoon. The resulting dough should be smooth and not very thick. Add dry blueberries to it. Stir the dough gently with the back of a spoon. This will definitely not crush the berries.

Now we need a baking dish. It is best to use a silicone one, as it does not need to be lubricated and will release well from muffins. However, if it doesn't end up in your kitchen, you can use a different shape. Fill the form with dough. Put it in the oven, which you need to preheat to 180 degrees. The muffins will take about 30-35 minutes to cook. You can check them with a regular toothpick. It will not leave noticeable marks on the muffins.When they are fully cooked, a golden crust will appear on their surface. After that, you will need to turn off the oven.

Transfer the finished blueberry muffins to a plate. Let them cool slightly. Then you can decorate them with powdered sugar or fresh berries. This dessert can be enjoyed by both adults and young members of your family. Get started cooking!
