One of my boys use to break out in hives within minutes of eating any berries. Our Ped said most children with berry allergies eventually out grow them. So once every year we try berries. And this is our year, he hasn't reacted at all!
Slowly he has been trying different berries.
Today I tried a new blueberry muffin recipe for him to eat.
I skipped the sugar on top and used whole wheat flour instead of all purpose.
They were pretty good. Next time I will use agave or honey for the sugar in hopes of adding extra moisture.
Be careful not to over stir.
1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 cup rolled oats
1/3 cup cane juice sugar
1 T baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1 cup buttermilk
3 egg whites
2 1/2 T safflower oil
1 1/2 - 2 cups frozen blueberries
Sugar and cinnamon to sprinkle on top ~ optional
*Mix dry ingredients. Whip together the wet ingredients. Add the liquid to the dry and stir until just blended. Fold in blueberries. Scoop into muffin tins, filling to the top. Sprinkle with cinn/sugar.
Bake at 350* for 20 - 25 minutes.
Yield approx: 12 regular muffins and 12 mini
