My Mom made this exact same recipe & I loved them. She passed away & I made these today. I had it in my cookbook but the only difference was 1/3 Cup Milk instead of 1/2 Cup ...I may have made a mistake when I copied the recipe so I used 1/2 Cup...I am from NS as well

Hi! I found this same recipe for these 'melt in your mouth blueberry muffins' in my Grandmeres (Estelle) recipe box - also from N.S. They were one of my favorite treats she used to make! I am wondering if there's a connection?

This is a very moist muffin. Everyone who has had one, has loved it. Even my friend who says she hates anything blueberry. Now, that's a compliment. Thank you for this recipe.

These are awesome! My only change will be next time to purchase the large sugar crystals to sprinkle on top for more of a sweet bite and also presentation.
