Jumbo Blueberry Muffins

If you like this recipe, please share!

Blueberry muffins are a favorite in our house. Honestly, I’m not a huge fan of blueberries by themselves but I do love them in things like muffins, pancakes and bread. So, when I found this recipe for Jumbo Blueberry Muffins on the Taste of Home website I had to make them. Blueberry muffins are a fond memory from my youth. My Mom made them often. I think they were a favorite of hers. Or maybe my Dad’s.

These muffins are loaded with blueberries. I did not use any paper muffin liners although I usually do. I just chose not to this time. The berries I used were huge. I used fresh but frozen blueberries are an option. To add a change of flavor add 1/4 to 1/2 a teaspoon of almond or lemon extract. The topping adds a lovely crunch and great flavor. 

These muffins are a great grab and go breakfast or mid-morning snack at the office. Pack one in your child’s lunchbox. Perfect with coffee, tea, juice or milk.
