Moody's Blueberry-Raspberry Muffins

Submitted by Linky

"According to "True Blueberry" by Dannenberg, Moody's Diner in Maine is famous for their blueberry muffins among other things. Here is one of their recipes. (I forgot to write sugar in my ingredients list but a reviewer caught my mistake. I got zero stars, so I wonder if the muffins turned out horrible with no sugar or if the reviewer added the sugar as specified in the directions anyway and gave the recipe a zero to reflecte my accidental omission. FYI, when I made them myself, they were very good! Note sugar is now in the ingredients list! )"

I kind of hated the recipe. I'm not trying to hate, just tell you to look somewhere else. These muffins were WAY to bland and extremely dense. Muffins should be cakey and delicious, but these tasted like a good muffin that got squished. The problem is not that I didn't bake them enough, I tested them and no goop came off so I tried one but it tasted battery. I put them in for 2 more minutes, same thing. I kept going until they'd been in the oven a total of 36 minutes, at which point they burned but still tasted battery. I do NOT recommend this recipe.

I made these this morning to have with my omelet (as kind of a breakfast dessert). I thought the recipe was very good. I have a pic I will try to add later on. I used fresh berries, and they were yummy. I kinda suck at baking, but these worked well. I will definitely make these again. Made for CQ 2015 for LBOB's

These were good! I thought they tasted a little bland hot out of the oven, but once they cooled and sat for a few hours they were much better. For Culinary Quest.

Perfect results! I used frozen raspberries and blackberries and they turned out amazing. I topped them with a combination of crushed Golden Graham's cereal and sugar. Winner!

You'll also need 2/3 cup plus 2 Tbs granulated sugar which is not included in the recipe's ingredient list!
