Blueberry Muffins

Everyday is a good day for GREAT Blueberry Muffins! This recipe is simple and delicious.   

No better time than RIGHT NOW…

to break out some paper liners and a muffin pan to bake up a batch of these beauties!

Blueberry muffins have always been at the TOP of my favorites list, my mom would take me blueberry picking when I was young and if we weren’t picking blueberries… we were buying 5lb boxes of blueberries and our local blueberry farm.

If I saw that bright yellow box on the counter…. (the blueberry place we went to sold 5lb boxes of blueberries in these bright yellow boxes)

I knew one thing was for sure…. there were BLUEBERRY MUFFINS in my near future!  YIPPEE!!!

I adjusted my moms’ recipe many times and finally think I go tit to my new perfect blueberry muffin recipe, and today I’m sharing it with you!

Gather all the ingredients

• flour
• baking powder
• sugar
• salt
• egg
• milk
• butter
• vanilla
• cinnamon
• blueberries
• turbinado sugar (coarse sugar gives these muffins a nice crunch when you bite into them, plus the batter is not overly sweet, so that added sugar is nice.

Mix the batter and portion it into a lined muffin tin or spray it with a baking spray. This recipe makes 15 muffins. Top the batter with some coarse sugar for a nice crunch on top of each muffin.

Bake the muffins in a well-preheated oven, these muffins rise high and are full of flavor.

Use great-tasting berries for the best results.

I also knew there would be blueberry syrup on our pancakes on the weekend too.

I went blueberry picking a few days ago and had so much fun!

I was telling the woman at the counter it had been many years since I’d picked blueberries and I was so happy to find a great place to pick blueberries.

I remember eating bowls of blueberries with milk for breakfast too…. oh the memories of being a kid!

I love adding some honey butter to these…. you can find my honey butter recipe along with my new cornbread recipe too. Both delicious!
