Blueberry Muffins

Blueberry muffins have been my favorite since I can remember. There is something delicious about a warm muffin, fresh from the oven and slathered in butter. 

Before I got married, my mother gave me a cookbook full of my favorite recipes. I use it pretty frequently, but had not gotten around to making the muffins (I'm still working on perfecting my baking techniques). It wasn't until last night when Aaron came home with two containers of blueberries that I got the itch to make blueberry muffins. These came out spectacularly and I'll be making muffins more frequently from now on! 

(The original recipe may have come from Betty Crocker, but it's the best muffin you'll ever have ) 

Blueberry Muffins 

3/4 cup milk

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1 egg

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/3 cup sugar

3 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. salt. 

1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (Other berries can be substituted. They just don't taste as good.)

Cinnamon and sugar mixture

Heat oven to 400*. 

Mix together wet ingredients then add remaining ingredients except for the blueberries. Mix throughly then add blueberries. Distribute mixture evenly into a muffin tin and top with a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar.  Bake for 18-20 minutes. Makes 12-16 muffins. 

These are best fresh, but can keep in an airtight container for several days. 

Enjoy!
