Blueberry Muffins ~I love muffins, don’t you? Fresh blueberries are such a natural sweet addition to the batter you don’t need much more. For a get together you don’t have to worry about cutting portions, or having just the icing eaten. If you are like me, I didn’t even use papers since they are a such a mess! Add ice cream to muffins and a nice hot cup of tea or coffee and dessert is under way! Did you ever know of a 6 year old that didn’t want a birthday cake? My granddaughter asked for a bowl of whipped cream, and then muffins for her big day yesterday. She definitely did not inherit my sweet tooth! Although she doesn’t love all sweet things most six year olds do, she also holds on to her great eating habits instilled by her watchful parents. So, a vegetarian dinner of mac and cheese, a pot full of squash, parsnips, onions and broccoli, and soy chicken was gobbled up in record time so she could enjoy her whipped cream and muffins! I am so proud!

How cute that your granddaughter wanted muffins and whipped cream. My youngest isn’t a huge cake fan and asked for a burger from her favorite restaurant instead of cake…lol. Anyway, will be including this recipe on this week’s MM roundup.
Thank you Erlene for the feature! She rarely eats any sugar or processed food. And no fast food, meat or soda. But favorite Grandma has taught her what a “treat stash” is and she is getting good at keeping it secret and filled. LOL. Have a great week.
Blueberries, yum. At least that’s what my grandchildren say. I’ve been searching for recipe, so grandma can satisfy their blueberry muffin love. I’m pinning this one.
I love this one! My 8 year old granddaughter helps me make this. She just graduated to cracking the egg all by herself! Enjoy.
I have blueberries I need to try this. Yum! Thanks for sharing at the #InspirationSpotlight party @DearCreatives Sharing
They are so fast and yummy. Have a lovely weekend.
Hi Marilyn, this would fit perfectly in Food on Friday: June under the berry theme. Hope you bring it on over. You’ll find the link towards the top of my sidebar. Cheers from Carole’s Chatter
Thanks Carole. Will check it out! Have a good evening.
I adore blueberry muffins! Pinning to my personal Pinterest board as well as OTM. Yummy!
Thank you Shelley! I appreciate the pin. Enjoy your evening.
Blueberry muffins are definitely a classic favorite. Sad to say, they’re pretty much the only way I can enjoy blueberries. (I know, need to work on that) Thanks so much for sharing at the #happynowlinkup!
Not sad. I like blueberries in cobbler and muffins or bread. But not in pie! Go figure. Enjoy your evening.
My favorite flavor muffin! I can hardly wait to bake these. Thank you for the recipe and mouth-watering photos.
Thank you for the kind words Susan. Enjoy!
Your blueberry muffins look delicious. I can’t resist a warm fruit muffin just out of the oven. And the lovely aroma that fills the house is great. I’m usually lazy and use a mix, but your recipe gives me the incentive to make some from scratch. Thanks for sharing, Marilyn. Pinning.
Baked goods staight from the oven are my downfall. I can never say no! Enjoy your evening.
I have a thing for blueberry muffins and I had to pin this so I won’t lose it!
Thanks for the pin! Next time I am adding a bit of lemon zest for fun! Enjoy your day!
Mmm, they sound delicious! Pinning!
Thanks for sharing at Sew It Cook It Craft It.
Thank you for the pinLina! Have a lovely day!
These sound so yummy!
Thanks for joining the 100th Cooking and Crafting with J & J!
Thanks Jess. Congrats on #100!
Marilyn, those look and sound delightful! I’m with your granddaughter — I’d rather have muffins than an ooey-gooey cake! I wonder if she does my little trick, scraping off the frosting. I even did that as a child. Also pulled the Oreos apart and scraped off the filling; there was always someone who wanted it!
She cuts off frosting if it is there and doesn’t like sandwich cookies. It is funny but the only thing she can’t pass up is solid bite size chocolates. She is hermother’s daughter and definitely not at all like my side. Easter and Halloween candy lasts a year until I eventually toss it. I try to be a bad influence but she has no part of it! Thanks Jean. Have a lovely week.
Those look so yummy.
Thank you Patrick. Easy to eat in your hands, too! Have a lovely day.
Those are beautiful! Thanks for sharing at the What’s for Dinner link up!
Thanks Helen. I am making some for my granddaughters sleep over as we speak. Have a great night.
Those look delicious… I would love one right now w/ my cup of tea. Yum. 🙂
Thx Joy. Enjoy your week. On phone and data so short.
My mother used to make blueberry muffins frequently, but she wrecked them by adding bran. Your recipe looks so much better – no bran!
The only thing I would add would be banana or chocolate. But these were for my granddaughter so I had to be good. Thanks for sharing your memories! Have a great week.
