Blueberry Maple Muffins

These tender muffins are sweetened with maple syrup and studded with wild blueberries.



Secret Recipe Club- Blueberry Maple Muffins



It's time for this month's Secret Recipe Club reveal! I love being part of a group of bloggers, who cook from one another's blogs and then blog about it. It's so exciting to learn about a new blogger every month! I really enjoy seeing who had my blog and to see what recipe they chose to make! It reminds me of how many great recipes are on my blog and makes me want to go back and make many of them again. This month I was assigned to the blog Baking and Creating with Avril. Avril is a blogger from New Hampshire, who loves to bake. Her blog also has tons of savory dishes that aren't too fancy and include step by step photos. She has been blogging for 5 yrs, and her blog is full with fantastic recipes I would like to try. 


I bookmarked several recipes from Avril's blog, this month, like her Caramel Swirled Apple Pear Bread, Easy Sesame Chicken and Blueberry Pie Pancakes. As delicious as these recipe sounded, I decided to use up some wild blueberries I have in the freezer and make these Blueberry Maple Muffins. I am so glad I made these! The kids inhaled them, they were so good. They were moist and tender, and not very sweet due to the maple syrup.

Blueberry Maple Muffins

adapted from Baking and Creating with Avril


2 C flour

1 Tbs baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 C vanilla yogurt

1 C  maple syrup, divided

6 Tbs coconut oil, melted

2 eggs, room temperature

1 C blueberries (fresh or frozen)

2 Tbs flour

2 Tbs sugar



Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 12 well muffin tin and set aside. 


In a small bowl combine the blueberries with 2 Tbs flour and 2 Tbs sugar. Set aside.


In a large mixing bowl combine the vanilla yogurt, 3/4 C maple syrup, coconut oil and eggs; until well combined. 


In a separate bowl mix together 2 C flour, baking powder and salt. Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until almost combined. Gently stir in the blueberries, until just combined.


Using a medium cookie scoop, or 1/4 C measure; fill each well of your muffin tin to 2/3 full. 


Bake for 20-25 minutes; until a toothpick inserted into the center of the largest muffin comes out clean. Remove from oven and brush the top of each muffin with the remaining 1/4 C maple syrup. Let cool 10 minutes, before removing to a wire rack. 


Once cooled completely, store in an air tight container for 3-4 days.

No Yeast Old Fashion Cinnamon Rolls

 These delicious cinnamon sticky rolls have been in my family for over 40 yrs. No yeast is required, so you can whip up a batch of these in no time. Still tender, sticky sweet and delicious! Ever since I can remember Mom would make these as a special treat. It wasn't too often, but every once in a while, we'd come home to these no yeast cinnamon rolls, as an after school snack. Growing up, this is what I thought cinnamon rolls were. I wasn't aware that there was a yeast version of cinnamon rolls. As much as I LOVE the yeast version, this no yeast version seems to make an appearance more frequently here at home.  Since there is no yeast in the dough, it does not need to rise for 30 minutes before being rolled out and baked. When I worked in the retirement home the residents were always excited when I made these cinnamon rolls. They said it reminded them of their childhood. It was amazing seeing how happy a simple recipe could make them. I don't make these very often and

50+ Creative Cottage Meal Ideas

When the warm weather hits many of us head to the cottage, to enjoy the sunshine and time near the water. Instead of always packing up burgers and hot dogs, I've rounded up over 50 creative meal ideas for delicious breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Ever since I was little my family always enjoyed a few weeks camping at a near by provincial park, during the summer months. When us kids, became older and moved away, Mom and Dad bought a trailer which remained parked at a location, so we would often go and visit for a few weeks then too. My mom has always been an amazing cook and with her outside kitchen often made our family favourites, even at camp. Now that my SO and his family have a cottage, we are frequently there for most of the summer. Hamburgers and Hot Dogs seem to be our go to, so I wanted to collect new creative meals perfect to make while camping, or at the cottage.  Breakfast Recipes Healthy Banana Milkshake Thick, creamy banana milkshake made without ice cream, dairy, and

Sam & Cat Sloppy Waffles

 A nod to the popular preteen TV show Sam & Cat, these s loppy waffles pair classic sloppy joes with crisp waffles. Years ago, my daughter fell in love with a kids show called Sam and Cat. This show melds two shows the kids use to watch together. It stars Sam Puckett (Jennette McCurdy) from iCarly and Cat Valentine (Ariana Grande) from Victorious. It's a witty and fun show and the kids loved the hijinks these two girls get into every week. In one particular episode, they get stuck inside a secret room, they find in their apartment (which use to be Cat's Nonna's before she moved to Elderly Acres). While they are stuck in the secret room, Cat mentions her idea of Sloppy Waffles, which pairs waffles and sloppy joes. Sam falls in love with the idea and once they are rescued by their friend Goomer, the show ends with the girls enjoying Sloppy Waffles. We recently watched the episode on Netflix, and the kids commented that we should try to make Sloppy Waffles. I thought it wa
