Blueberry Chia Seed Muffins

More playing with chia seeds in this healthy blueberry muffin treat!

These were deliciously wholesome, not too sweet.  They also disappeared VERY quickly!


Ingredients

1 cup fresh Blueberries
2 tbsp Chia Seeds
3/4 cup Whole wheat flour
1 cup Plain flour
1 tbsp Baking powder
60g Butter
3 tbsp Honey
2 large Eggs - beaten
1/2 cup Creme Fraiche (or sour cream)
1/4 cup Milk
1 tsp Vanilla

Makes 12 muffins

Preheat oven to 200 degrees C.

Firstly, rinse the blueberries and leave to dry.  Grind the chia seeds finely - this should make approx. 1/4 cup of chia flour.  Sift this with the other flours and baking powder into a bowl.  Melt the butter with the honey and combine with beaten eggs, creme fraiche, milk and vanilla.  Pour over the flour and mix lightly with a fork, until just moistened.  Carefully fold in the blueberries, without crushing.

Put large spoonfuls of the mixture into well-greased muffin pans - approx. 3/4 full.  Bake in oven for approx. 20 minutes, or until well risen and golden.  Transfer to a wire rack.

Delicious served warm, but I'm sure they would also be just as good when cool - if there are any left that is! :)
