Blueberries seem to come to life when they’re baked. They’re delicious as is, but I love they way they get all dark and juicy when baked! I can’t say I’m a huge muffin fan, and I’ll take a scone over a biscotti any old day. But I totally get why some people go crazy over muffins – especially in the morning with coffee.
I’m adding this recipe to my blog because I love to collect and share solid, go-to baking recipes that are quick, yummy, and on the healthy side. I snagged this recipe from King Arthur Flour’s website and didn’t really alter anything.
Enjoy!
