Homemade Blueberry Muffin Recipe
There’s nothing like a homemade blueberry muffin. They are great any time of the year, but they have an extra something special to share when it’s blueberry season. The blueberries are just a little plumper and filled with a natural sweetness that screams July in the northeast.
This muffin recipe is simple, but the end result is sweet yumminess. Did I mention how easy they are to make?
Blueberry muffins are great for breakfast, lunch or an afternoon snack. Actually, these are great for lunchbox packing! If you have a child that’s not big on sandwiches like I did, you can cut these in half and add a thin layer of peanut butter or flavored cream cheese to serve as a sandwich alternative.
