Delicious muffins! I enjoyed these even more after they'd cooled, with some rich English butter. We made them with a 50/50 blend of all purpose & whole wheat flour, and used Splenda sugar blend. They were chock full of blueberries and disappeared quickly! Thanks for the recipe! ~Sue

A nice, basic blueberry muffin recipe. I loved the overabundance of berries in this recipe. I used whole wheat flour and they were still very light and fluffy. Next time I might use half whole wheat and half all purpose to see how that works. I would also like to put a crumb topping on them next time around!!! Thanks for posting!
