I used only sugar so 6 tbs. I used thawed frozen blueberries, whole milk. I cooked them 22 minutes just to be sure they were ok. They're crispy but moist inside. So yummy! Thanks Annacia :) Made for Holiday Tag.

For a low-sugar muffin these are quite good. I used reconstituted powdered milk and fresh blueberries. The flour was 3/4 cup of whole wheat pastry flour and 1 cup white flour. For the allspice, I used Baking Spice Blend Mix. The muffins had a nice crust outside and moist center. They were done in 20 minutes.
