Just made these muffins. They came out really good. Made a few changes to the recipe: Used half whole wheat flour and 1/2 white flour, reduced the sugar to 1/2 cup and the muffins are still plenty sweet.

I'm just making these now, I also added 3 teaspoons of vanilla essence to the mixture and they are heavenly, also if you convert the mixture from cups to mugs, you end up with about 24 muffins and they taste the same, very good recipe! Its a keeper!! Thanks!

We tried one batch of this recipe and were quite disappointed to discover that, without first softening the butter, the mix was chunky and scarce. After our second try, we proved Grandma Hinckley wrong by softening the butter for 20 seconds, then mashing it up with our hands with the milk, sugar, and egg. The mix was smoother and thicker, and the result was much more satisfactory.

I think it's pretty much understood that you soften the butter... I don't even bake and I got that much. These were awesome!

Great recipe.
Of couse your butter would be room temperature before creaming.
I used a mixer. I mixed the flour/dry ingreds until blended, but did not go overboard.
I like a little crumble on top,
2 tbsp soft butter
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cut sugar
2 tbsp flour
Mix together and sprinkle loosely on muffins.
I baked 30 minutes regular oven.
Great recipe!!!!

Delish! My whole family enjoyed these muffins. I spent some time looking for a blueberry muffin recipe that was not overloaded with butter in the batter. I found this recipe to be the perfect balance. Some changes I made though. I used almond milk in place of regular milk. I substituted 1/2 of the granulated sugar with brown sugar. I added about 2 tsp of vanilla extract. Also I did not brush them with butter. Instead I just sprinkled coarse granulated sugar on top of the muffins BEFORE I put them into the oven. I made a double batch, and ended up with 22 incredibly yummy blueberry muffins! This recipe is a keeper for sure!

Made this recipe three times now and this is by far the most simple, yet delicious muffin ever. I have tried many other recipes and this is the only one where the muffins are perfect every time. The flavor is great and the texture is bakery quality. Thanks for sharing. My kids and I love this as a breakfast treat!
