I have a ton of recipes in my home, although I have to admit I use the internet so much more. It is so convenient to just type in a food you would like to cook and voila. This past weekend I was at home for the day as my eldest daughter had the flu. So I decided to do some baking and decided I would make some blueberry muffins. Why blueberry when its not in season you may ask? I always have frozen fruit in my freezer as we as a family, love to make smoothies so it is a given that I had some frozen.
This was not my first time making blueberry muffins, but I love trying new recipes so I was searching for a recipe I had not made before. I have to admit when I read " To die for blueberry muffins, I really did not search anymore. Head on over to check out the blueberry recipe or find some other great hidden treasure!
I really did like this recipe and I made a double batch. Although, with the second batch I did not add the topping and instead I added 1 tsp of cinnamon into it. I loved it just as much as, but honestly what was more important was I felt a little better eating one without the sugar the next morning for breakfast.
