Blueberry Doughnuts

2 c. all purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 c. sugar
1 stick melted butter
1 egg, lightly beaten
3/4 c. milk
1 1/2 c. blueberries

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and sugar. In a smaller bowl, combine the egg, milk, and butter. Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture, and stir just until combined; do not over mix. Fold in the blueberries.

Scoop the batter into a pastry bag or a ziploc bag with one of the bottom corners snipped off.

In a large skillet or dutch oven, heat 2-3 inches of oil. When the oil is hot enough (test by dropping in a little bit of the batter), squeeze the batter into the oil in a doughnut shape. About halfway through cooking, flip each doughnut over so they cook evenly.

Drain on a paper towel lined plate, and sprinkle with powdered sugar once they cool.

(Notes from me: This was supposed to be a muffin recipe-- 350 degrees, 20-25 minutes-- but I got started before I realized I didn't have a muffin pan available, and had to figure out something to do with all the batter! Also, I used 1 cup of blueberries and just over 1/4 cup each of diced strawberries and peaches.)

Whole Wheat Blueberry Muffins

Low Fat Whole Wheat Blueberry Muffins with nutritional info.

I followed her recommendation to use 1 cup whole wheat flour and 1 cup all-purpose flour.  These turned out GREAT!  They are a lot sweeter than I expected; usually whole wheat items aren't very sweet at all.

Pumpkin Wheat Honey Muffins

I got the recipe from this link, but tweaked it a little:
http://allrecipes.com/recipe/pumpkin-wheat-honey-muffins/detail.aspx
Here are the ingredients I used (the rest of the instructions are the same)-

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup packed brown sugar (I used dark)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cloves
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup honey

I did have to cook them a little longer, maybe 3 extra minutes, due to the added pumpkin. 

I didn't use raisins or walnuts, but I'm sure it would be good if you like that sort of thing. Chocolate chips would also be good, especially if you need a bribe to get your kids to eat them!
