Blueberry Jam Quick Bread

Another blueberry baking project using my homemade blueberry jam. This is a blueberry quick bread. It has the textures of a cake and a bread. It does not require any yeast, thus make this bread easy and quick. It has a nice smell, and it is low in sugar as well.

Ingredients:
1 egg
80g sugar
150g all-purpose flour
60g vegetable oil
60g milk
1 1/2 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tbsp salt
100g blueberry jam

Steps:
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a loaf pan with oil or butter or cooking spray. Line a parchment paper at the bottom of the pan.
2. Beat egg, sugar and oil till combine. Mix in milk. Add in the dry mixture and stir till well-combined.
3. Pour the mixture into the loaf pan and add in the blueberry jam on top of the batter. Use a knife to swirl it.
4. Bake for 45-55 minutes or a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Be careful not to burn the top of the cake. Mine is slightly burnt, but still edible.
5. Cool completely on wire rack and enjoy with more blueberry jam on top or other jams.

It is very moist and very good for breakfast. Easy to make and healthy. So...........
Happy baking =D

Lemon Blueberry Yogurt Tiramisu

I have always wanted to try tiramisu with other flavors, and also with yogurt instead of mascarpone. I made it and I am not very happy with the looks of the tiramisu. The taste can be better and sweeter. This tiramisu is a little sour, at least to me. The only pro for this tiramisu is the low fat, low calorie and high in nutrition. I use greek yogurt with fresh lemon and lemon juice, and fresh blueberries. I am thinking it is the freshness of the blueberries that made the tiramisu tasted sour because it is indeed very tart. Next time I will increase the sugar a little so that the taste will not be that sour. Haha... =D

Ingredient:

10-12 ladyfingers (depends on the size of your container)

plain greek yogurt

1 lemon zest + 1 lemon juice

blueberries

50g sugar (use more, maybe 100g sugar)

Steps:

Just prepare ingredients above according to the size of your container, and clean everything before use.Stir the greek yogurt till little runny/smooth. Cook the lemon juice and sugar till dissolve. Let it cool a little. Assemble the tiramisu with ladyfingers soaked lemon syrup, then yogurt, then blueberries, then lemon zest. Repeat till full. Finish with lemon zest. Refrigerate it before eating. Top with extra blueberries before serving, it is optional.

This tiramisu is very tart. If you like sour taste, then this is the one, healthy and fresh!

Happy eating =)

Blueberry Muffin w/ Crumb Topping

No one eats blueberry, so I have leftover in the fridge. I decided to make blueberry muffins. It is weird, you know. Many people who do not like fruits will eat them if they are incorporated into muffin, cake, cupcake, etc. That's how I do it, and that's how you can do it too! =P

Blueberry Muffin w/ Crumb Topping
Ingredients:
Crumble Topping
50g cold butter
50g sugar
50g flour

Steps:
Mix all ingredients using fingers and put into fridge till ready-to-use.

2 eggs
80g sugar
100g melted butter
100g flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
100g fresh blueberries

Steps:
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line muffin pan with muffin liners/cupcake liners.
2. Beat eggs and sugar till slightly pale. Then, add butter and mix.
3. Add in flour mixture and vanilla extract till fully combine.
4. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries.
5. Scoop batter into muffin liners till 3/4 full, and sprinkle crumb topping on top each batter.
6. Bake in oven for 30-35 minutes. Adjust time accordingly. Some ovens need lesser time or more time.
7. Cool completely on wire rack.

Nothing can go wrong with blueberry muffins. The fresh blueberries really make the difference. Don't use frozen blueberries, the texture and taste are different.

Enjoy!
