Nutty Blueberry muffins 蓝莓果仁味玛芬

I am continuing  checking the stock of cupcake liners. Took out this liner with purple blue, immediately I thought of making blueberries cupcakes or muffins using this liner. Finally decided to try this healthy muffin with no sugar is added.

How to make it nutty? recipe called to grind hazelnut with flour till fine.



After roasted for few minutes, then it was easy to remove the skin..

Anyway, this muffin was not well received by my family as my children don't appreciate nutty flavour and furthermore this muffin only has very very mild sweetness..

If you want a healthy muffin that has no sugar and butter, this is the recipe. And I found the batter was watery even I didn't add in the skimmed milk..
