Blueberry Muffins | A Breakfast Staple

Muffins should be a breakfast staple, don’t you think?  Blueberry Muffins have always been a real treat and they’re a popular choice for me when it’s on the coffee shop menu.  Some come with a delicious streusel and others might have sugar sprinkled on the top.

And since July is National Blueberry Month, there is not greater time than the present to share this simple (yet delicious) recipe with you!

Simple Blueberry Muffins

I don’t make muffins very often, so they seem to be more of treat than anything.  My mom recently did some blueberry picking and brought me some.  I’m not sure why, but I don’t really eat blueberries raw.  I prefer them cooked.

I didn’t want to see them go to waist, so I decided to whip up a batch of simple Blueberry Muffins.  These are simple to make and not too sweet — letting the blueberries take center stage (wink).

2. In a large bowl, beat milk, oil and egg with fork or wire whisk until well mixed. Stir in flour, sugar, baking powder and salt all at once until flour is moistened (batter will be lumpy).

If you’re a BIG muffin fan, these Six Week Bran Muffins are some of my absolute favorites!  Mmmm.  I might have to make a batch of these up this week.
