We had one of those good/bad weekends. Ryan and I got in a silly fight on Friday night. I went to a beautiful birth on Saturday morning…only to miss the actual delivery by 2 minutes. We made dinner together. We went out to our favorite breakfast place. For the first time ever, we watched football in our own home. And then the snow came back. We’re currently sitting in at least a good 6-8 inches of white powder.
Thankfully, the sun will come out tomorrow and we’ll be back up to almost sixty degrees by Sunday. The weather is a mysterious beast here in Colorado. But cold days call for baking, and Lulu and I spent Monday in the kitchen with mixing bowls, bags of flour, and dried fruit. These blueberry and mango muffins are the perfect way to fight off any cold-day-blues. And a sweet little girl is another great excuse to light a fire and stay warm indoors.
Blueberry Mango Muffins
3 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup coconut sugar
1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter, softened
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups full-fat yogurt
3/4 cup frozen blueberries
3/4 cup diced dried mango
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a standard, 12 cup, muffin pan with paper liners. Set aside. In a medium mixing bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In the bowl of your stand mixer, beat together softened butter and sugar until creamy. Add in eggs. Stir until combined. Alternate between adding the flour mixture and the yogurt. Stir until just combined. Gently fold in dried and frozen fruit. Divide evenly among muffin cups (these will be large muffins!). Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
It’s comforting to know that others have good/bad weekends too. 🙂 So glad when silly fights are over and favorite breakfasts take their place. 🙂
Beautiful muffins! Perfect for a snowy but cozy morning 🙂
Look at her sweet little face! She is growing to be such a beautiful, big girl.
Snow sounds wonderful. We don’t get any here on the coast. It has been cold (to this California girl) in the mornings lately and I think some warm muffins would be a lovely way to start the day.
Delicious looking muffins Monet. Colorado weather has always peeked my curiosity. Unlike here in NY where it gets cold and stays cold you get teased with warm spells.
Monet,
Lucy is growing to a beautiful little girl, and a great Momma’s helper. These muffins are mouth watering, perfect to make on a snowy day!
Amazing, but she is starting to look more and more like a beautiful mix between Mom and Dad now… I can see Daddy in her eyes and overall expression… so cool!
glad silly fight is just a thing of the past. With so much going on in your life, it’ s natural to get some tension sometimes… laugh about it and move on!
Great looking muffins too….
Your muffins look and sound perfect, blueberries get my attention every time. But, I’ve had enough of the white stuff. I bet yours will be gone fairly fast, ours will stick around until March, at least.
The weather has been all over the place here too! These muffins look fantastic Monet! And Lucy – so so cute!
Oh man, I miss the snow! We got a very light dusting on New Years but that is likely all we will get this year. These muffins sounds amazing! I would have never though to combine blueberry and mango, but now I can’t get it out of my head!
Thank goodness for snow days – they’re perfect for staying in and making up after a silly fight. Muffins help, too 🙂 xo
Oh my goodness these look amazing! I love fruit muffins!
