After testing a recipe for my review of Bake With Josh which did not work out perfectly I decided to make Blueberry Oat Muffins. I prefer to see the blueberries on top of the muffins rather than have them in the batter. This way they create a jammy like texture to the muffins.
On the 1st of September I had blog posts scheduled until Wednesday the 28th. I could go no further than that for the month as one recipe needed to be made again, and the other was for a challenge. Not having any posts scheduled for October was most unusual for me given how much travelling we do. I like to be a month ahead of myself and by the time we got back from overseas I was not even a day ahead. This clearly showed in my recipe for black garlic aïoli where my photographs suffered. Basically, I was burnt out. The last time this happened I reduced my posting from every day of the week to the schedule I had in September. We got back from overseas late on a Saturday night and the following week I made a cake to serve as dessert.
I also partook in a challenge which saw me racing against the clock, only to have the posting date pushed forward. The day our lovely house guests left to go home I lay down on the couch and slept until Dave got back from work. The desire to create a recipe for the blog, let alone cook supper had deserted me. And then we watched MasterChef The Professionals and the inspiration slowly crept back. I have set myself a task of creating 3 recipes a week. And I have changed my posting schedule. I am hoping by tackling this in small doses I will be ahead of myself enough to get me through to December where I will have the time to work on my recipe development at my own pace.
I am passionate about using regional, seasonable and sustainable produce when I cook. I live in Gordons Bay with my husband and dogs. We visit new places locally and overseas as often as we can to experience the food of the area. Follow along on our adventures!

These muffins sound fantastic Tandy.
Have a beautiful weekend.

This look like the best blueberry muffins I have ever seen! Bar none. I too, agree, the blueberries should be bursting on top of the muffin, that is the way I like them too. Would love one of these right now so perhaps my 4 year old will help me whip some up today after I put my 6 year old on the bus!
I laughed at your comment about the muffins not quite being right. I always use the same basic muffin recipe and adapt but recently tried a different recipe. Everything seemed fine but the bake time was wrong – 12 instead of 25 mins. Luckily I had enough skill to realise this was incorrect and have added my own errata to the page but a novice may not have had as much success as you or I. Hope the new post schedule suits you and you can settle into it.

I would love to come over and bake with you and your kids Laura 🙂
Love how beautifully these muffins are bursting with blueberry goodness. I bet oats and blueberry go well together.
They do indeed 🙂
I need to work on scheduling posts more – I usually wait till the last minute – by the way, Tandy, these muffins sound delicious!
Thanks Shashi 🙂
Ah yes, I know that tune of keeping up, or trying, with posting schedules lol. And I LOVE blueberry muffins so yum!
Thanks Evelyne 🙂
It’s very admirable that you post one month in advance. I find that very hard to do but it would be wonderful!
If I can get back to that it will be more than wonderful 🙂

I am still not settled in but hopefully that will change before it is too late and I have nothing left to share 🙂
