[Recipe] Blueberry Yogurt Muffins

Hey guys!

Yesterday I was in Aachen for the first time after my registration, to take a look at the campus and the different buildings of my university. It's crazy huge - I'm really not sure how I'm going to find my lecture halls, let's hope I don't get lost because I'm certain that will happen at least a few times in the first weeks... And after that. Oh well.

I've been looking for people to travel with at least during freshman orientation week. I have to take two trains every morning to get there which rounds up to about 1 1/2 hours, and while that's probably the perfect time to read or play Pokémon, it's also the first time in my life commuting like that and as long as I'm getting used to it I'd like to be with other people... I'm still scared of the world, don't laugh at me. :(

Anyway, we now have a group of eight people (I think) for the first day of uni - they're all really cool and I can't wait to actually meet them - and because I'm nice I've baked a batch of muffins and we're gonna have a tea party on the train! :D

I don't know what I did wrong because for some reason my third set turned out much better than the other two, maybe it's because the batter had to rest a bit. Hm. I'll try and remember that for the next time. So maybe you should do that, too. Anyway, here's the recipe:

Blueberry Yogurt Muffins
Makes: 30 muffins
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 20-30 minutes

Nutrition facts (per muffin):
Calories: 153
Fat: 4.2g
Cholesterol: 51mg
Sugar: 15.1g

Ingredients:
400g white flour
400g sugar
300g yogurt (unsweetened and unflavoured)
100g butter
8 eggs
2 cups blueberries (I used frozen ones, but fresh probably also works)
1 packet baking soda

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.

2. Melt the butter. For this, grab two different-sized metal bowls (or similar containers), put the butter in the smaller one, fill the larger one with water (though not too much) and place the smaller one in it so it floats on the water. Put it on a low heat, it should be just hot enough to make the butter melt.

3. Mix the flour, sugar and baking soda and stir in the eggs, yogurt and melted butter.

4. Stir until you get a smooth batter. You can just use a large spoon for this.

5. Mix in the blueberries. (Though in retrospect I've learned that mixing any kinds of soft berries into the dough makes it go dark and should be avoided - you should rather just drop them in when you fill up the paper liners right before they go into the oven!)

6. Line your muffin tray with paper cups or grease it thoroughly, and pour the batter into it so it covers 2/3rds to 3/4ths of the cups. They will rise quite nicely when they bake.

7. Bake them for 20 to 30 minutes, always check back with a toothpick - when no more crumbs stick to it after you poke a muffin, they're done!

And that's it! I think next time I'm going to use more blueberries and less sugar, but they turned out quite nice and my family liked them - let's see what my new friends in college think :)

Happy baking!

P.S.: I've changed my theme around a little :) What do you guys think?
