Maiden Post - a muffin kind of week

one of the babies can't eat egg.  this has forced me to bake more than i might have otherwise, and it has forced me to sort of get a grip on the science of baking.

muffins i've made this week, takes less than 10 minutes:

yeilds about 12 muffins

2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
2 tsp salt
2 tbsp flax powder
1/4 cup oil (been using safflower oil)
1 cup vanilla yogurt
1/4 cup milk (more or less, enough to make batter thin out just enough)
add blueberries (fresh is fabulous but this morning i used dried, and frozen works just fine too)

this morning i also did a batch with whole wheat flour, a rogue packet of hot chocolate mix, and added chocolate chips rather than blueberries.  voila, chocolate chocolate chip muffins.

also - the best part of any muffin in my mind is the crumble topping (soft butter, sugar and flour, fork it all together).

i know - where the hell is the squash here?  i'll do that next.
