Ingredients
- 2 cups plus 3 tbsp white whole-wheat flour, divided (TRY: King Arthur Flour White Whole Wheat)
- 2/3 cup plus 3 tbsp organic evaporated cane juice, divided
- 1 oz raw unsalted pecans, finely chopped
- 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, divided
- 1/4 tsp plus 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg, divided
- 1/2 tsp plus 1/8 tsp sea salt, divided
- 2 tbsp organic unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 2 cups fresh blueberries, washed and dried thoroughly
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup low-fat buttermilk
- 3 tbsp safflower oil
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 375°F and line a 12-count muffin tin with paper liners.
- Prepare crumble topping: In a small bowl, combine 3 tbsp flour, 3 tbsp cane juice, pecans, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/8 tsp nutmeg and 1/8 tsp salt. Drizzle in butter and stir with a fork until just moistened. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk remaining 2 cups flour, 2/3 cup cane juice, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, 1/2 tsp salt, baking powder and baking soda. Gently stir in blueberries. In a medium bowl, whisk egg, buttermilk and oil. Add to blueberry mixture and stir until just moistened. Spoon into muffin cups.
- With your fingers, crumble topping over muffin batter. Bake in center of oven, rotating tin halfway through, until edges are lightly browned and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in center, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool in tin for 5 minutes. Carefully remove muffins from tin and transfer to a cooling rack. (TIP: These muffins are best served warm!)
