Happy lil ❤’s are baking

Recipe: Blueberry Muffins

Master D and I are doing all things ‘B’ this week, including our baking. I’d planned for us to make a banana cake, but before we got to it I realised Master D had eaten all 6 bananas! So, on to Plan B (hee hee, rather appropriate!) – blueberry muffins. They are so quick and easy, as well as super tasty.

You will need:

  • 1 egg
  • 2 cups self raising flour
  • 1 tablespoon custard powder
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 400g blueberries (we used tinned blueberries)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • dash of milk (if needed)

  1. Pop your oven on 180° 
  2. Prepare a 12 hole muffin tray with nonstick spray or similar
  3. Crack your egg into a bowl and lightly beat, add sugar, flour, custard powder
  4. Lightly stir through blueberries (I add the syrup as well – means you get a great flavour and don’t have to add much milk)
  5. Add olive oil and a dash of milk if needed (your mix should be slightly runny, but not as runny as pancakes)
  6. Dollop into your muffin trays
  7. Bake for around 20 minutes

Enjoy! 

We went outside to enjoy ours, the mischievous Wookie dog snaffled one while Master D and I were taking a ‘turn round the yard’ – cheeky.


This is us # 2: Me – Kelly

I’ve just realised, I have an inner hippie trying to get out! The evidence is stacking up:
– I love wearing bub in a sling
– breastfeeding on demand
– composting
– growing my own veggies
– getting fresh eggs from my mum or best friend’s chooks (sadly, our yard isn’t big enough for chooks)
– baking from scratch
– learning to make my own toys and clothes

And, I’m getting excited at finding great recipes and tutorials for making my own cleaning and beauty products!

Now, to seasoned hippie or natural living types this list (and self-revelation) is probably not that convincing. But it is like I have just had an ‘a-ha’ moment, and I feel really quite chuffed about it (and on a side note, I always use ‘chuffed’ to mean pleased to bits, while my partner always understood it to mean displeased – checking the dictionary it means both! Love it).

Anyway, one major revelation is probably enough sharing about me for today!
