Its a Blueberry Revival!

Sunday morning. Sun is shining…everything is covered in a blanket of snow, it is beautiful, it really is, but that was this morning and now, as I am winding down at the end of another freezing cold winter day, I am praying that the little rodent we all affectionately know as Wiarton Willie, really does not see his shadow tomorrow. So, everybody together now, lets all wish hard on this one at the same time… NO SHADOW WILLIE! NO SHADOW WILLIE! You hear me William? No freakin” shadow.. stay out of the hole, give us a little sign of an early spring, we all really need it. Remember when I went blueberry picking at that awesome place – Arrow Wood Farms? Well, I picked so many blueberries that day that I could not possibly eat them all while they were fresh. I did what any locavore would do,I gave them a little rinse off and then popped them into the freezer for later blueberry indulgences – like today! These muffins are a stand-by favourite of mine. They are really easy to make and super tasty! You could really use any local fruit that you have frozen in the freezer – like cranberries,strawberries or even peaches. My favourite is blueberry and here it is for you: Blueberry Yogurt Muffins 2 cups all-purpose arva flour3/4 cups rolled oats1 cup white sugar1/2 teaspoon baking soda3/4 teaspoon baking powder1/2 teaspoon salt1 teaspoon ground ginger powder2 eggs3/4 cup yogurt1/4 cup veggie oil1 teaspoon vanilla extract1 1/2 cups frozen local blueberries1 ontario apple, grated Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.Combine all of the dry ingredients in a bowl.In a seperate bowl or in a stand up mixer combine the eggs, yogurt, vegetable oil and vanilla.Mix the wet ingredients into the dry, then add the frozen blueberries and the greated apple.Spoon mixture into greased muffin pan, bake for 30 minutes or until they are golden.
