Blueberry Muffins

 

IMG_1321

I love blueberries and muffins. I made this recipe with my home-grown blueberries. Of course any blueberries will be good. This is not your traditional blueberry muffin. It is a muffin consistency just not as sweet like some muffins can be. These have a light sugar topping on them to give just the right sweetness, in my opinion. They can be made without the sugar topping, if you prefer. I like that this recipe only makes 12 regular size muffins. I freeze most of them taking one out of the freezer whenever I get a sweet craving. My husband doesn’t like blueberries which means I get to eat them all or share them when company comes.
