Love the almond extract in this recipe. I have to make a triple batch to have enough for my kids to eat for breakfast on school mornings!

Making these for the second time right now. They're super yummy! Made them with less berries per the comments and they turn out awesome. Just sweet enough but substantial and fiber-rific!

Mine made about 20 muffins and they burned on the bottom. They did taste great, i'd make them again just lower the heat.

It called for too much blueberries. I also used used anise extract to add a little extra taste. They turned out good. Next time less blueberries, probably half.

These were VERY tasty! I was looking for something somewhat more healthy for an on the go breakfast! I used frozen blueberries which made the color funky, but did not effect the taste, and only 1 cup...I cannot imagine using the whole amount...way too much I would imagine. I also used the almond extract. I was afraid the 1T baking powder was a typo, but the batter filled the muffin cups nearly to the top for 12 and they did NOT ooze all over so that pleased me VERY much. The texture is wonderful! I will be making these again!
