The Best Blueberry Muffins
My husband and I have been trying to grow blueberries for years, but we would never end up with more than a hand full to share. This year, our blueberry bushes went wild! We grow a few different types of blueberries. Some are only the size of peas, while others are as big as marbles.
With enough to pick and even more growing, the obvious choice for me was to bake some blueberry muffins. I could have chosen something more exciting or original, but there's nothing better than a warm, homemade blueberry muffin slathered in butter, especially when the blueberries are from your own back yard.
I used a tried and true recipe from Cook's Illustrated. Some may say it has too many steps for a simple blueberry muffin, but they are worth the effort. The are not only loaded with fresh blueberries, but they have a quick, homemade blueberry jam swirled into them for even more flavor. They are topped with lemon sugar for a burst of freshness, sweetness, and crunch!
These muffins bake up with beautiful domed tops and make for the perfect weekend breakfast. I hope that you give them a try and love them as much as my family and I do!
