OATMEAL BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

First off I have to say this was a learning experience. I have made 100's of muffins/cupcakes over the years maybe even thousands but never with such a mission before. I found a "Universal Muffin Mix" recipe posted by Smurfetta on an Organic website. It was a bulk recipe so you can have the mix then add your extras. I am trying my darnedest to follow my new "diet" but it isn't cut and dry so I just kind of have to eat and cross my fingers and see what happens. As with everything I do I somewhat changed the recipe as I went along because God forbid I actually do exactly what someone else says. I'll give the recipe then tell you my oops moments.

Muffin Mix

18 cups flour (I did 10 organic whole wheat and 8 organic white)

5 cups sugar

2 1/4 cups dry buttermilk

6 T baking powder

2 T baking soda

2 T salt

3 T ground cinnamon

3 tsp ground nutmeg

WET INGREDIENTS

3-4 eggs (this was iffy for me because I'm allergic to eggs but I did use eggs this time next

time I will use Egg Replacer)

3 tsp vanilla

2 cups water

1 cup oil (I used canola which I have never used before)

Stir in 5 1/2 cups muffin mix and your add in's makes 24 (I made 29)

FOR OATMEAL BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Reduce mix to 4 cups, add 1 cup of oats, 4 eggs, 2 cups blueberries. (I also added 1/4 cup brown sugar)

BAKE at 400 DEGREES 18-20 MINUTES

My muffins turned out great. A little flat but I think that has to do with the fact that I tried to make streusel topping out of brown sugar, country crock and flour. That doesn't really work well. Also....frozen blueberries will drop to the bottom of the bowel every time. Without fail they will also turn your muffins a grayish purple. I am not a nutmeg fan. It is a spice I never use. Maybe because it has the word "nut" in it so I generally keep away from it. I did use it but next time I make this mammoth mix I will lessen the nutmeg. I had 3 muffins last night and my mouth felt weird. I checked Jessi and she was fine so I double checked our allergy print offs and we aren't allergic to any of the ingredients in the muffins. The only ingredient in the muffins that isn't on my allergy list at all is canola oil and like I said...I've never used it before.

Will I make these again? Definitely! There are a lot of different things that I can add in so I'll let you know as I go.
