Simple, Tasty Blueberry Muffins!

Okay, so here's a new recipe I just had to share, found recently over at Food.com. My kids aren't usually fans of anything blueberry, but these muffins seem to be the exception to the rule. The first time I made these mildly sweet, cupcake-like muffins, they lasted for a total of about... oh, 20 minutes before they all disappeared, courtesy of some seriously hungry kiddos!



Here's the recipe:

Best Ever Blueberry Muffins



Ingredients

    • ½ cup butter or ½ cup margarine, at room temp
    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla
    • 2 teaspoons baking powder
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • ½ cup milk
    • 2 ½ cups fresh blueberries or 2 ½ cups frozen blueberries

    For Topping

    • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, mixed with
    • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 375°.
  2. Grease 18 regular-size muffin cups (or 12 large size muffins).
  3. In bowl, mix butter until creamy. Add sugar and beat until pale and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each.
  5. Beat in vanilla, baking powder and salt.
  6. With spoon, fold in half of flour then half of milk into batter; repeat.
  7. Fold in blueberries.
  8. Spoon into muffin cups and sprinkle topping onto each muffin.
  9. Bake 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown and springy to touch.

    Enjoy!
