HOW TO MAKE BLUEBERRY MUFFINS BETTER THAN A BAKERY
Is there anything better than a fresh blueberry muffin warm from the oven? Not much. Especially when that soft muffin has a crunchy, sweet topping, too. Of course, you probably need to go to your local bakery to get a perfect blueberry muffin, right?
No! Let me say it one more time: No! You can make perfect blueberry muffins right at home without a mix, and it’s really not even very difficult to do. You can whip them up in just a few minutes. Seriously, you are just minutes away from blueberry muffins that look like this:
Your kids will love them, and you can rest easy knowing that while they’re sweet, these muffins themselves don’t have an excess of sugar. The blueberries really do get a chance to shine. My kids enjoy these for breakfast, but they also like them when snack time rolls around. And, if your kids’ mom needs a little something to go with her afternoon pick me up, brew the coffee or steep the tea and enjoy one of these blueberry muffins!
One of the best things about these muffins is the crunchy little topping, but you can certainly make these without it. In fact, one of my kids prefers the muffins without the topping. Another great thing about these muffins is that the blueberries you use can be either fresh or frozen. I often use frozen blueberries because they don’t break as easily when I fold them into the batter, which prevents the batter from turning blue. Of course, in the summer, when fresh blueberries abound, I love to use them in this recipe and many others!
Now, that I’ve got you thinking about these blueberry muffins, I guess I should tell you how to make them.
