I just had to throw away a batch of blueberry muffins! This is a horrible recipe! Why 3 eggs? That is highly unusual! They didn't rise at all! I should have stuck to my proven recipe! I will never use any recipes from Food.Com again! Cannot trust the recipes on this site!!!!<br/><br/>I had to tweet the remaining batter to get something out of my ingridenents. Had to add more of a leveling agent to get a cake out of this!! Throw this recipe in the trash!!!

Yum yum - need I say more and even without the topping. Granted they are not super healthy but certainly a great treat when we feel like being sinful. Nice for a weekend breakfast.

Anything from Ina is good, so that's why I decided to try these first, before any others. I picked the right recipe! These were such a nice change from the same old boring toast and cereal for breakfast, and I also found my way to them again during the day. OK, so slap me silly, but I couldn't help myself! Even the dog wanted one! Next time I am going to try raspberries. MMM, can't wait!
