Pammy's Fruity Muffins

Submitted by Packer Backer Pammy

"Have gotten some "oh there so good" from the neighbors, so I am posting this recipe so I remember how I made them. I had another one of those want to "create" days and this was the finished product. I'm guessing on the prep time. This makes 12 muffins. Hubby gave them 3 stars but he is NOT the "muffin man". He only likes blueberry muffins. I love him anyways! Made these for the Thanksgiving get together...we'll see what they have to say. Probably should have used some nuts... Edit...We are sick. No family Thanksgiving so I froze the muffins individually in plastic sandwich bags so we could take one out when we wanted...works very well. Just throw it in the microwave frozen until warm. They are pretty tasty muffins."

These are healthy and good muffins. I put my fruit in the food processer instead of cutting each item separately. I was out of blueberries so mine were more of a cranberry/orange muffin. Next time I'll use the blueberries too. I love having them in the freezer to grab one when I want it. Thanks Pammy.
