My plan on this blog is to test a dessert and breakfast/brunch baked good weekly. Since I completed my dessert with much success I sought my morning item. While researching the competition I came across this muffin recipe from the blog Joy of Baking. It utilizes buttermilk and berries and promised to be bursting with flavor. Well unfortunately it was not a recipe I will be keeping in my repertoire.
It was easy as far as quick breads go, minimal effort. I used frozen berries and with the 90 degree humidity we are having in my neck of the woods they started to thaw as soon as they hit my table. Hence the bleeding in my batter and the blue tinged final product. I folded them in extra gently but c'est la vie.
The muffins themselves are very dense. Even being heavy handed with the berries they still seemed lacking. The taste is fairly bland but if you like your coffee with a treat that doesn't overpower, this might be for you. I was told that they tasted like Bisquick and when you take the time to make something from scratch that is the last thing you want to hear. The search for the perfect muffin continues.
