The Best Blueberry Muffins

Submitted by Irmgard

"These are truly the best blueberry muffins I have ever made. I think that the secret is using honey instead of sugar for the sweetener. My daughter, who hates honey, begs me to make these!"

Has anyone struggled to get all the batter into 12 muffins? I ended up adding 2 small Pyrex cups since I still had batter despite filling beyond 3/4.

Very good, the honey lemon is a great combo and not too sweet. Baked at 350 for 20 minutes. perfect.

Really good! I adjusted my temp to 350 and time to 25 minutes, based on someone else's review. I substituted a powdered-lemon product called True Lemon because I had no lemon zest on hand. They are not overly sweet, and they make a great breakfast food.

Nice tasty muffin, the honey is a nice addition and gives them great flavour. Thanks for sharing.

These are good but I think next time I will bake them at 350 for 18 minutes.The sides were a little overdone at 18 min. at 400.Maybe its my oven.
