These are incredible muffins--the blueberry, lemon, nutmeg combination is just perfect!! I scaled the servings down to 4, and got 6 regular size muffins. Instead of a/p flour, I used whole wheat pastry flour; and we didn't have any powdered sugar, so I sweetened the lemon juice with a bit of granulated sugar and brushed it on the muffin tops right after they came out of the oven. Next time I'll be sure to use paper muffin liners (baked blueberries stick to muffin tins!), and I may also try using light butter. My (long!) hunt for the best blueberry muffin recipe is finally over--this is it! Thanks so much for sharing it Greeneyes3270!!
