Your Jr. Chef can bake Blueberry Cornbread Muffins

To mixture of dry ingredients, add fresh or frozen blueberries, and mix to coat. Add wet ingredients to dry until just combined. Divide batter into a 12-well muffin pan, and sprinkle tops with 1 tsp sugar. Bake, cool in pan then a cooling rack. Notes: okay to sub half (or more) AP flour with white ww flour (or all the flour with your usual GF choices), non-aluminum baking powder is best, milk can be non-fat but flavor won’t zing as much, any flavor honey (½ cup) can be used, sub for oil can be coconut oil or applesauce, muffin tin paper liners optional. Parental supervision.
