Let’s make something … mini today 🙂 I had been on a roll making small bacth recipes lately. I find that making small batch recipe gave me the opportunity to control the portion I eat and most of all to have variety of different treats

What we are making today is a Small Batch Mini Blueberry Muffins, they are mini and bitse size but they are big in flavor, softness and deliciousness!

Mini, Mini Bite Size Muffin

This recipes makes 8 mini bite size muffins OR 2 regualr size muffins. Either way you go, it will be a portion size that is just for you, or you can share if you want to. I like this portion size because it satisfy my cravings without having to worry of leftover. It is gone in a day or two and after that, all is history and ready to move n to next sweet or savory treats.

Make it a Regular Size Muffin, Yes Why Not!

If you do not have mini muffin tin, which is not common for most people to won, you can bake this in a regular muffin tin. It will make a good 2 regualr size muffins. If you have mini muffin tin, try using it. I actually find it easier and more fun to eat, bite size and a good size for graba and go snack. No need to peel a muffin liner, simply grab and eat it whole or if you want to be modest, 2 bites it is.

What makes This Muffin Soft & Moist

I’ve added plain greek yogurt and used oil for mositure. You can substitute melted butter for oil. Since this is a small batch, I doubt this will last long in the refrigerator. You may even end up eating all of this in a day so no worries of it getting hard when refrigerated. I will not disagree that butter taste better than oil, 100% yes! So why did I use oil? Well,i run out of butter and I do like the way the muffin is softer when I use oil. I leave that choice to you but either of the two will work.

Fresh Orange Zest & Juice for a Citrus Flavor

I used freshly squeezed orange juice and used the zest to flavor the muffin. You can also use lemon or maybe lime for a stronger citrus flavor. If you do not have these, use vanilla extract instead.
