blueberry muffins

Looking for something to do on a rainy day?

Why don’t you bake muffins? Blueberry muffins!

They are super easy, yummy and perfect for breakfast or as a snack. They can be frozen for another day or enjoyed immediately, still warm, and slathered with butter… or given as gifts…what friend wouldn’t just love a dozen of freshly baked muffins?

So why don’t you get out your muffin tins and get going!

  1. these look amazing! I love your photography! I also love how your berries didn’t sink to the bottom 🙂

    • Thank you so much!! They are super yummy – the more butter and cream, the moister they will be…(: Also, thanks for the compliments on the photography! I love taking pictures, glad you liked them too! (: Hope you had a good weekend!

  2. I knew I shouldn’t have looked at this post before breakfast. Now I want blueberry muffins! 😀

    I love the transfer station as well – I’m hoping to get the tiles for my kitchen there becuase they’re always getting over-orders delivered (it’ll save me a lot of $$$) 😀

  3. Can’t wait to try this! I put frozen blueberries in my cereal this morning and was thinking that I needed to make something to use the last of them before time to pick comes around again. This recipe will be perfect and tasty. Congrats on getting the “print recipe” gadget to work!!

    • Hopefully you like the recipe! Thank you for acknowledging the ‘print this’ – It is so much fun when I figure out how to do something, only to realize it wasn’t that difficult after all – it’s finding the time to ‘learn’ (especially with our dial-up internet connection!!) which is the challenge…glad you like it!! There is so much more I want to learn how to do on this blog…all things in time, right? Hope you had a good weekend!
