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!

August 12, 2018 at 8:22 PMHow 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.

August 12, 2018 at 10:00 PMThank 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.

June 7, 2017 at 11:00 PMBlueberry 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!
Marilyn
June 8, 2017 at 9:49 PMNot sad. I like blueberries in cobbler and muffins or bread. But not in pie! Go figure. Enjoy your evening.

June 7, 2017 at 10:31 AMYour 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.

June 7, 2017 at 7:09 PMBaked goods staight from the oven are my downfall. I can never say no! Enjoy your evening.

June 5, 2017 at 1:51 PMMarilyn, 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!
Marilyn
June 5, 2017 at 3:14 PMShe 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.

June 2, 2017 at 6:34 PMMy mother used to make blueberry muffins frequently, but she wrecked them by adding bran. Your recipe looks so much better – no bran!
Marilyn
June 2, 2017 at 7:28 PMThe 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.
