Lactose Free Super Yummy Blueberry Muffins

Lactose Free Super Yummy Blueberry Muffins

Everyone always brings salads or meat to a BBQ. So cliche.

We have a gorgeous Blueberry bush which invariably gives us a bumper crop every year for about a week- and so we try to make everything we can with the glut. This is why I was the "cool" person rocking up to a BBQ with muffins, and seeing as the guest of honour Jayne is Lactose Intolerant, I decided to try adapting a recipe that I know works well.

Here is the original recipe- it's great as you can convert from USA to Metric, and choose how many you want to make and it automatically corrects the ingredient weights.

The only change I made to the actual muffin recipe was to replace the Milk with Olive Oil (equal measurements) and then a touch of water to make the consistency to my liking. To get beautifully risen, tall cafe style muffins, use deep muffin trays and tall tulip muffin cases.

For the crunch on top (which I highly recommend!) replace the butter with cold lactose free butter or Ghee. These things aren't the easiest to find, but good supermarkets (especially Sainsbury's) have great Lactose free sections so target that first. If you can't find any, leave the crumb off and add cinnamon to your muffins.

And Voila- these yummy muffins were even transported in a wicker basket and a linen cloth like they do in the good old USA. I am happy to report that they were devoured by the lactose loving and the lactose intolerant alike!
