awesome blueberry muffins
I’m a girl who loves a good muffin, and these ones are pretty darn tasty! I made them first a couple of years ago, and thought the recipe was too complicated, but this time it seemed easy. I guess I’ve grown as a baker or something. Or I just used to be really lazy. In any case, these muffins are sweet and light and full of blueberries. They also freeze well for quick breakfasts. And my kids ate them right up, so they have the universal stamp of approval.
