These blueberry muffins are so light and yet rich in flavor, great for breakfast or an afternoon snack. They are loaded with blueberries, moist, soft and slightly crumbly.

I picked so many blueberries from my Sunshine Blue, which is small to medium size blueberry planted in a large planter. It is so much fun to be able to pick your own

– Why is this muffin recipe different?

Two different combinations were used…butter with vegetable oil and, cake flour with all-purpose flour. Vegetable oil not only lighten the batter are well as give moist. Cake flour will give the batter a lighter texture.

– How easy is this recipe?

Like most of the muffin recipes, it is pretty straight forward, just make sure to not overmix the batter.

– Can I use frozen blueberries?

Absolutely, I used fresh ones because by blueberry bush was loaded with blueberries. If using frozen blueberries, lightly coat the berries with all-purpose flour before adding to the batter.
