Breast Milk Berry Muffins!! Don't knock it...

Have extra breast milk and need a use for it? Make berry muffins!!! I have tons of extra breast milk in the freezer, so I am always finding other uses for it. Why not?!

Breast milk is full of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, proteins, antibodies, and so much more! These muffins are packed full of nutrients for kids (and adults too)!!!

**You can also use regular milk too!**

Here's what you need:

2 1/2 cups (325 grams) all-purpose flour

3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated white sugar OR unsweetened applesauce

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 large egg, lightly beaten

1 cup (240 ml) breast milk

1/2 cup (120 ml) canola oil

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 1/2 to 2 cups (360-480 ml) fresh or frozen berries (blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries)



**Yes, I did in fact use store brand ingredients!! I know. I know. Shame on me! Just kidding!**

What to do:

1. First, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray with a non stick cooking spray 12 - 2 3/4 x 1 1/2 inch muffin cups. Set aside.

2. In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and sugar or applesauce. Then, gently mix in the berries.
NOTE: I used applesauce in place of sugar.

3. In another large bowl, whisk together the breast milk, egg, oil, and vanilla.

4. Then, slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir with a rubber spatula only until the ingredients are combined. Do not over mix the batter or tough muffins will result.

5. With a large spoon, scoop the batter and place into the muffin cups. It should fill all 12 muffin cups to the top.

6. Once all 12 muffin cups are filled, place into the oven for about 20-26 minutes.



7. To test if they are done, use a toothpick and poke the center of the muffins. If the toothpick comes out clean, your muffins are done!
