Blueberry Muffins…*
…to beat those morning blues
In celebration of blueberries being on sale (which never happens), I decided to buy a pint and whip up one of my favorite breakfast treat: hearty blueberry muffins. I’ve always been in search of a good recipe for blueberry muffins and was excited when my new cookbook by The Hummingbird Bakery featured one categorized as “easy.” These muffins turned out wonderfully and they were indeed, quite simple to make. They are mildly sweet, moist and packed with blueberries. Although, next time I make these, I will probably make a streusel topping for extra sweetness and texture. Until then, enjoy these muffins warm with a pat of butter or a sprinkle of sugar next to your favorite breakfast beverage for a quick and hearty homemade breakfast.
