We were craving muffins this morning, but as usual when I get a random craving for something, I’m out of a few key ingredients. 😒😆
That’s okay, let’s improvise with what we have. 👩🏻🍳
I present to you - Blueberry Hug Muffins! (Because they feel like a warm hug in your mouth.. which sounds creepy now that I type it 😆)
Anyway, the girls loved them, so I’m calling it a win! Sharing my “used what I had on hand” recipe in case anyone wants to try them! If you do, let me know what you thought!
Disclaimer: I only had whole wheat flour, but I would have preferred regular. Use what ya got!

Created by See with Heart (seewithheart.org)
Ingredients:
• 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup milk (any kind) plus 2–3 extra tablespoons
• ¼ cup oil (vegetable, canola, or melted coconut oil)
• ¼ cup plain yogurt or applesauce
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup frozen blueberries (do not thaw)
• 1 tablespoon flour (for tossing blueberries)
Optional Homemade Spiced Topping:
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• ½ teaspoon cocoa powder
• ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
• A small pinch each of honey powder (if you have it), coriander, cardamom, and nutmeg
(Mix together in a small bowl before sprinkling on muffins.)
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Lightly grease your silicone 6-cup muffin pan and set it on a baking sheet for stability.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
4. In another bowl, mix the milk (plus extra tablespoons), oil, yogurt or applesauce, and vanilla extract until combined.
5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently stir — batter will be thick but scoopable.
6. Toss frozen blueberries with 1 tablespoon flour, then gently fold them into the batter.
7. Spoon batter evenly into the 6 muffin cups (they will be full).
8. Sprinkle the homemade spiced topping evenly over each muffin.
9. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
10. Cool muffins in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully remove and let cool completely on a wire rack.
Notes:
• Batter should be thick, not pourable. Add 1 extra tablespoon milk if it seems too stiff.
• You can substitute other frozen fruit like strawberries, raspberries, cherries, or peaches.
• Optional: Drizzle cooled muffins with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar + milk if desired.
