Blueberry muffins 🫐

Our blueberries are our product with the highest antioxidant capacity, our antioxidant kings! Our blueberries are (im)perfect because they don't meet the market's demanding standards, which are governed by very strict beauty standards that don't allow them to reach traditional markets. Our baskets aim to help our suppliers and bring these magical berries home to you!

And why are they considered superfoods?

These fruits empower our bodies to fight diseases such as diabetes, cancer, or cardiovascular problems. In addition to containing resveratrol, an important chemical for burning saturated fats, they are also low in calories and have high nutritional value.

They are rich in vitamins B and C, and in manganese. This superfood is high in iron, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, sodium, zinc, copper, and folic acid. Rich in fiber, they possess enviable anti-inflammatory superpowers. They combat bad cholesterol (LDL) and protect good cholesterol (HDL). Their antioxidant properties allow for a reduction in LDL oxidation levels, helping to keep our hearts healthy. The prevention of heart disease is also possibly ensured with the consumption of blueberries, since these magical berries help lower blood pressure!

Want to know how? Here's our Blueberry Muffin recipe:

Preparation time : 35 minutes (you can enjoy cooking while listening to your new favorite album or the latest episode of that podcast you love so much!)
Serves 12 people : 12 blueberry muffins

Vegetarian or vegan? These muffins contain eggs, which you can also find in our gift baskets. If you prefer a vegetarian or vegan version, the butter can be replaced with olive oil in the same quantity, or with vegan butter. This substitution may slightly alter the flavor of the blueberry muffins, but we assure you that if you follow the other steps they will remain delicious!

What will you need to make Blueberry Muffins?

• 2 cups of Equal Food blueberry tea
• 75g of brown sugar
• 75g of softened butter
• 2 eggs BIO Equal Food
• 75g of protein yogurt (plant-based or not, choose a Greek-style, unsweetened yogurt)
• 50g of almond milk
• 1 teaspoon of Equal Food lemon juice
• 175g of whole oat flour
• 175g of wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder
• ½ teaspoon of baking soda

And now?

Beat the sugar and butter together. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the yogurt and mix again. Then, add the plant-based milk and lemon juice, mixing everything very well. Separately, add the flours, baking powder, and baking soda. Combine the liquid mixture with the flours and mix everything very well. Finally, fold in the blueberries. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 20 minutes. Enjoy!

This is a great and quick way to enjoy your Equal Food blueberries in a nutritious and delicious way! With the quantity we deliver to your home, you'll still have blueberries left over to enjoy in other ways besides blueberry muffins.
