Magical Blueberry Muffins


Magical Blueberry Muffins became magical the day my oldest son actually ate one (he is a self-proclaimed blueberry hater). He knows there are blueberries in these muffins and yet he still eats them. Miracle or magic - you be the judge!

I just love summer especially for all the delicious fruits and veggies to chose from. We got lucky with purchasing some really delicious fresh blueberries and inspired me to make muffins. But, the great thing about this recipe is that frozen works equally as well for when fresh blueberries aren't readily available (or cost you $6 bucks for the teeniest tiniest container).

MAGICAL BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

INGREDIENTS:
3 tsp baking powder
2 cups all purpose flour (Can do 1 cup white flour and 1 cup whole wheat flour)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter softened
1 cups sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup of blueberries either fresh or frozen (if using frozen do not thaw)
Toppings:
2 tabl brown sugar
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

In a large bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt. In another mixing bowl, cream butter, sugar, eggs, milk and vanilla. Stir in the dry ingredients with the wet until moistened. Gently fold in either fresh or frozen blueberries. Fill lined muffin cups 2/3 full. Combine the brown sugar and ground nutmeg and sprinkle over the muffins. Bake in oven at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes. This makes 1 dozen muffins.
