The texture of these was really nice. Light and fluffy inside and nice and crusty outside. I did feel that they could've used a bit more honey... the blueberries in my neck of the woods are pretty tart right now. Next time I might increase the honey or add a bit of brown sugar. Mine baked up in 15 minutes.

The blueberries have just come into our garden and so they were used in these little muffins that tasted heavenly. I didn't have whole wheat flour so used a bit of cake flour in place. The orange zest, the honey, coupled with the yogurt was just wonderful tasting and I sent 10 mini's home with my son. Thank you so much Sue! Made for *ZWT4* June 2008.

Thanks Sue. I'm not a blueberry fan but DH and DD are! They wanted me to make muffins for Canada ZWT so I did. Very pretty and happy campers here at home!

This was very quick to make. I made 24 mini muffins that baked for 15 minutes and 6 full sized muffins that baked for 20 minutes. My kids would like them to have been a bit sweeter but I thought they were great as made!
