Blueberry Muffins

 Blueberry Muffins are a wonderful snack, a great breakfast item with coffee - and these are so easy to make and ever so delicious!



One of the things that I like about going through family recipes is the fond remembrance that speaks to you. I was working full time when my children were small and wanted to make something special for the kids. So I decided I would make some homemade muffins. My mother had always made hers using a Bisquick recipe. Instead, my husband pulled out a recipe he had from his first wife who was deceased. He said that this blueberry muffin recipe was the best he ever had and I have to agree.
  • 1/2 cup butter - softened
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 1/2 cups blueberries
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp. table salt
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • sugar for sprinkling on top
  1. In one bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt.
  2. In a large bowl with mixer at medium speed cream the softened butter and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add in the eggs one at a time beating after each addition. Add the flour mixture and the milk and vanilla - alternating after each addition.
  4. Crush 1/2 cup of blueberries and fold into the batter. Fold in the remaining whole blueberries.
  5. Place paper muffin cups in the muffin pan. Fill about 2/3 of the muffin mix in each cup. Bake in a preheated 375° oven for about 30 minutes.
  6. Test with a toothpick and if the toothpick comes out clean they are done.
  7. For an added touch sprinkle the tops with a little sugar while still warm.
