Huckleberries don’t grow everywhere. They like cooler temps and south facing slopes. I grew up in Kalispell, MT and they are a delicacy there. Here is my favorite muffin recipe:
Huckleberry Muffins
1 cup oats
1 cup sour milk
1 cup flour (I use Gluten Free Mama’s coconut blend)
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/3 cup butter (melted)
1 cup huckleberries (can be substituted with blueberries too)
Combine oats and sour milk. Let stand a few minutes. Add melted butter. Add remaining ingredients, adding huckleberries last and folding in.
Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.
Sprinkle sugar on top for an extra treat!
Mike puts chocolate chips in his huckleberry muffins…. mmm. I myself make a huckleberry coffee cake that is one of my only baking feats! :~)
