Blueberry Muffins

A member of our extended family gave us some delicious blueberries. I have been wanting blueberries since the beginning of summer. I LOVE them! But they are just so darn expensive at the grocery store. Around here the price is around $3.00 for a half pint. WHAT? I’m not paying that. I wanted them but not at that price. So when I received a whole quart of these little babies for free I was so grateful.

Of course the first thing I did was eat a few right out of the bag:) The second thing I did was bake these wonderfully delicious crunchy topped muffins.

This muffin batter is thick but it’s perfect for using a recipe with fruit. I also lightly floured the berries and as you can see in the above picture there are berries throughout the muffin.

The topping is just sprinkled over the top of the batter and bakes into a crunchy delight all by itself. It’s like a dessert on top of a dessert!

Look at the blueberry that popped its mouth-watering juiciness just before I removed them from the oven.

Oh, that looks so freakin’ yummy! I wish I could give you one. The best I can do is show you up close what you will be missing if you don’t make this blueberry muffin recipe for yourself.
