Blueberry-Buttermilk Muffins – Recipe!

Life is like a blueberry muffin.  Muffins are tender, most of the time anyway, with juicy bursts of fun throughout their crumb.  The delicate nature of muffins are truly enjoyable, and not too over the top.  Muffins are nice to enjoy anytime of day, but especially treasured in the morning hours with family and friends.  They can be savory or sweet, but sweet most of the time, and are compatible with other foods.  Muffins won’t last forever, but you will always have a true fondness for them, and remember them forever.

Blueberry Muffins are something most of us truly love.  The simplicity of these breakfast treats makes them a favorite.  Whether you use fresh or frozen blueberries doesn’t really matter, just that the berries are bursting with sweetness.  A splash of buttermilk guarantees a lighter texture and a softness that brings joy with every bite.  Muffins make people happy, so bake a batch and you’ll see.
