Lemony Blueberry Muffins



Just a quick update! I know I have loads to update and recipes to write here of my hits and misses of birthday celebration, but that will take me quite a while so I'll do a short update on blueberry muffins I made last Saturday morning.

I got the recipe from homemadewithlove, and I loved it! Gave a little tweak here and there out of convenience haha, so here's what I used:

2 eggs
1 cup white vanilla sugar
1/2 cup canola oil
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tub light sour cream, 250g
1 cup frozen blueberries, don't thaw
Zest of 1/2 a lemon
  1. Mix all dry ingredients together in a large bowl, including the zest of lemon.
  2. Make a well in the centre of the bowl and add your wet ingredients: sour cream, oil, eggs. Mix well but don't over mix. The batter will be sticky and with low viscosity.
  3. Add blueberries last, only mixing into the batter with a couple of turns using a spoon, then spoon the batter in muffin cups.
  4. I got 9 big muffins and 3 medium sized muffins, it's supposed to make 12 normal muffins.
  5. Bake for 20-35 min at 180 degrees Celsius, depending on the size of the muffins. I think I took 35 or almost 40 minutes for these huge babies. The smaller ones took about 20-25 minutes? Do give them a poke to check!
I love muffins! Easy to make, fast to bake, and you can put anything inside! I love the muffin crown, the uneven surface that just looks so homemade. No frosting needed, just wonderful little cakes of yummy goodness.


Blueberry muffin batter ready for the oven. I used half cup to mix into the batter, and another half cup to sprinkle on top so it'll look pretty. Haha. Good thing they didn't sink!


Yummy muffin bursting out of their muffin cups, just the way muffins should be!


Breakfast awaits! Husband found the lemony taste weird, he didn't know there was lemon in it. Oh wells. This isn't husband approved cos it has berries and lemon. Haha! Next time I make a batch of muffins I'll make a chocolate chip version for him. Berries are strictly mine :)

CNY Bakes

Back from the long weekend! Spent two days fully at home, cooking and baking. So happy. Day 1 was sindhi briyani and Almond London . Day 2 was ayam lemak cili padi and a batch of almost Famous Amos chocolate chip cookies , but I split the batter into 2: hazelnut, white chocolate, cranberry combination and hazelnut, dark chocolate chip combination. I made the cranberry ones first, they taste awesome. But after I ate the chocolate chip one, say bye bye to cranberry! Nothing beats chocolate. And the white chocolate chips somehow dissolved into the batter, melted. What to do, it's just white chips from Redman. I should try a better brand instead.  Happy new year indeed!

White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Bars

 I love these! It's like a blondie but to make me feel less guilty, there's oatmeal. Was supposed to make these and freeze for easy morning breakfasts, but seems like they ran out pretty quickly that it didn't require that much freezing. Original recipe here . I made these almost three months ago and I still think about making these again and again. White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Bars 2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats 2 cups flour 1 1/2 cups brown sugar 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon vanilla 2 large eggs 1 1/4 cups butter melted 1 cups white chocolate chips 1 cup dried cranberries This is like one bowl mix so anything goes. Spread batter in two 8x8 square tins, bake for 22 min at 180 degrees Celsius.

Daiso Ramekins

Finally finally went to Daiso!! Wanted to go there for ages already! The first thing I came in, went to the cooking section. Found my ramekins! But they're not white. Oh wells. Can't be choosy for $2 ramekins! There were white ones, but super small white ramekins. And pie tarts too! Oooh so tempting! But I don't know when I'll make tarts hurhur. Actually I'm still thinking what I should bake using these ramekins. I remember having one of those "I wish I had ramekins right now" moments but I can't remember when. Maybe when I was making lava cake . Daiso is evil. It's so cheap you just feel like coming back again! Oh and did I mention there's a $2 weighing scale?! Measures up to a kilo but that's quite alright for baking isn't it! I mean, $2!! Dirt cheap lah. Not sure about the accuracy though. Didn't do much cleaning last weekend, very much spent lazing around at home just like what weekends should be like. I love being at ho
