It's Time To Bake Homemade Blueberry Muffins

By
Home Stager with Sharon Tara Transformations

It's prime blueberry picking season on the New Hampshire Seacoast and that means it's time to bake some homemade blueberry muffins!

I was given this recipe from a friend over 20 years ago and I've yet to find one I like better.  I prefer to use fresh, local berries...but frozen work just fine too.

 

BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

blueberry muffins

 

2 cups all purpose flour

3/4 cup sugar

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

2 eggs

1/2 cup milk 

1/2 cup melted butter

1 cup blueberries

 

Preheat oven to 350˚

Mix dry ingredients.  Add eggs, milk, and butter and mix with hand mixer.   Fold in blueberries.

Bake for 30 minutes.

Enjoy!

Sharon - I just had a blueberry scone at a bakery/cafe this morning.  I played tennis, so figured I could afford to eat one!  This recipe looks yummy.  Ah, fresh blueberry muffins, warm from the oven, with butter melting on them....  ahhhhh.

Joan:    There are "Recipe" groups you can post to.  It does seem that a lot of people are on board and you are right, responding to all the comments is going to add to the work load...how fun is this!!!  The key is to keep smiling!

Sharon -- great photo and recipe but you're making me hungry!

Joan -- just jumping in to clarify -- from the AR Community Guidelines on the Main Page -- only original content may be used for blogging "... Points for blogging will only be awarded for your own majority original content. Examples of what doesn't qualify for points: jokes, recipes, inspirational quotes, poems..."

So if you want to blog about a recipe that you found in a cookbook, magazine, or online ... you can, but you must mark the box that it is not your original content before you click on "submit" and a red X will show once it's posted.  This rule is to keep people from getting lots of points for things that aren't original content.

Maureen:  Thanks for adding that info about recipes.  I should have been more specific.  It's not as easy as just copying a favorite recipe from a cookbook...it must be your own for you to share it.

Roger:  Enjoy what little time you have left, my friend...bake some muffins!

Hi Sharon - Blueberry muffins are my absolute favorite.  And, nothing smells any better than blueberry muffins baking in the oven.

Pamela:  I hope you enjoy these muffins, they are one of my favorite recipes.  The recipe can be used for a bundt cake also, if you prefer.  Same recipe.

Hi, Sharon. I lived in Maine for 15 years and always used wild blueberries that I picked myself in my own field.

This recipe looks very easy; I'm printing it out and will make a batch so we can stop at my house on a fall trail ride and sit on the deck for a little while for a coffee break.

I have a hitchin' rail that holds 6 and trailer ties on trees for overflow, for just this purpose. Thanks!
