Bursting Blueberry Bok Choy Muffins: Monday Meal

IMG_6756

Eliana is a blueberry fiend. Since blueberries are in season right now, we have had massive amounts of blueberries in the teeny tiny foodie kitchen over the last several weeks. When I get home from the market with a few pints of blueberries, I immediately wash and freeze around 3-4 cups so they are ready to go for smoothies or oatmeal and then I store the rest in a paper-towel-lined container to keep them as fresh as possible for snacking on or adding to things like cereal, “homemade” yogurt or french toast.

If you’ve been reading teeny tiny foodie for a while you should assume that I’m not going to let a yummy berry season pass me by without working on some purée recipes, too. Over these last weeks I played around with my Simple Blueberry Purée recipe and created a Blueberry Dill Purée, too. And, of course, I just had to create a muffin recipe as well.

 

No, really. I. Had. To. A recipe that I can’t get right is the crazy kind of thing that literally wakes me up in the middle of the night.

I know. I’m a total weirdo.

 

So, after a few sleepless nights and recipe revisions, I’m excited to share with you my newest muffin recipe: Bursting Blueberry Bok Choy Muffins. They don’t stick around the teeny tiny foodie kitchen for long and I hope they are a huge hit in your kitchen, too.

Enjoy!

Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, being careful not to over-mix the ingredients and crush the berries.

I bet you’re wondering if Eliana liked the muffins. Oh, she loved them. However, she basically growled at me when I tried to photograph her eating them. Maybe she thought I was trying to steal them from her? Oh no wait, maybe she’s just a toddler. Who knows? But, sadly, no photo of the teeny tiny foodie enjoying these muffins. Sigh.

 

Happy Cooking!
