| Forgive the squatty muffin--I made them smaller than called for in the recipe. |
1) I'm a freak about dairy product's expiration dates.
2) I can't let food go to waste.
I opened my fridge and noticed I still had quite a bit of buttermilk left to use--by tomorrow. Since buttermilk is already pretty nasty, the last thing I want to do is forget about it until it's almost cottage cheese--and then try to get rid of the guilt I feel after throwing away a dollar's worth of buttermilk.
So, I ask the husband if he'd like to take some baked goods into work in the morning. He says yes: blueberry muffins.
Blueberry muffins? Gross.
Yes, I said gross. I don't know why, but I do not like blueberries. I especially dislike them in my muffins.
In some ways, I welcomed the husband's suggestion. I don't like blueberry muffins--which means I won't eat them. Brilliant! (Whenever I make baked goods for the husband, I always end up eating more than he does. Unless it's bread.) The problem was, I planned to send them into work--and I always want to taste food before I give it to others.
It was a risk...but I decided to take it.

I can't tell you they tasted good, because I didn't try them. I can tell you that the batter (pre-blueberries) was delicious.
Would I make these again? Only if the husband requests them, of course. They're a more "healthy" tasting muffin, which is fine--but some palates prefer the cupcakes that are disguised as muffins. :)
