This muffin recipe is perfect for weekend baking

Here’s an old favorite, a taste of Cape Cod or Maine. Easy blueberry muffins you and the kids can make for Mom or Dad on their special days. A weekend treat which comes together quickly, blueberry muffins taste best about 5 or 10 minutes out of the oven—and they won’t last!

‍

Ingredients

1 ½ cups blueberries, sorted, washed, and dried*
1 ¾ cups flour
⅓ cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 eggs
¼ cup melted butter
¾ cup milk
Cinnamon sugar
*If using frozen berries, do not thaw, also toss in a little flour to coat.

MAKES 12 MUFFINS

Instructions

Heat oven to 400°.
Grease muffin tin.
In a large mixing bowl, mix dry ingredients together. In another bowl, beat eggs, then add to the melted butter and milk and beat together. Add the wet stuff in with the dry stuff and mix, but don’t over beat. Fold in blueberries.
Place spoonfuls of batter in muffin pan cups, sprinkle tops with cinnamon sugar.
Bake muffins for 20 minutes. Cool for 5 to 10 minutes, then enjoy!
