    Kryslass- I didn't know either until another BB member informed me- no berries until 12 months, as they are highly allergenic. Wish I'd known that before I gave him strawberries- oops.

    I made some Blueberry and Cream Cheese Muffins yesterday for my daugher's b'day party - went down a treat. I used fresh blueberries and blueberry jam, but I'm sure you could use the puree.

    • 2 1/4 cups self-raising flour, sifted
    • 1/2 cup caster sugar
    • 100g butter, melted, cooled
    • 1 cup milk
    • 2 eggs, lightly whisked
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 150g fresh or frozen blueberries
    • 60g cream cheese, cut into 12 cubes
    • 1 1/2 tablespoons blueberry jam
    Method
    1. Preheat oven to 200?C. Lightly grease a 12-hole 1/2-cup capacity muffin pan.
    2. Combine flour and sugar in a bowl. Make a well in the centre.
    3. Whisk butter, milk, egg and vanilla in a jug. Pour into well. Add blueberries and gently fold until just combined. Half fill muffin holes with mixture. Top each muffin with a cream cheese cube and 1/2 teaspoon jam and cover with remaining mixture.
    4. Bake muffins for 15 to 20 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the top half of muffins comes out clean. Stand in pan for 5 minutes. Turn muffins onto a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm.
    Makes 12

    How about folding it through some icecream? Or yoghurt?
