These muffins are the BEST I have ever eaten, so moist, full of flavor. I used 1 1/2 cups fresh plump blueberries. My guest loved them too. We ate them with a fresh fruit salad. Will definitely make these again as I love fresh blueberries and am always looking for ways to use them. Thanks for taking the time to submit this recipe. Cooks.com is my go-to recipe book!

If you had told me that such a simple recipe could yield such fantastic results, I would have scoffed. However, I wanted a blueberry muffin, wanted it to be quick and easy, and after reading all the reviews, I took a chance, and the accolades came pouring in. A keeper! Thank you CM for this share.

I have been searching for a good, unadorned blueberry muffin recipe as I have been disappointed in other recipes I have tried in the past. This one is a keeper. It comes together quickly, is easily doubled and tastes fabulous. The only adjustments I made was to use a 6 cup jumbo muffin pan and change the baking time and temp to a 400°F oven for 23 to 26 minutes, turning half way to insure even browning. I also melted 1/2 stick of butter after turning the muffins at the half way point to ensure the butter would be warm but not hot, to brush on top of the muffins with as soon as they were out of the oven. Also since I did not have coarse sugar in my pantry I sprinkled the tops lightly with light brown sugar which worked out so well I may make that part of the permanent recipe.

I always share recipes with anyone who asks as I consider that the highest compliment and appreciate others who have done the same for me. Nothing gives me more pleasure than sharing good food surrounded by good friends and family. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe CM and thanks to Grandmother Hinckley!

CM, I like this the best of all your blueberry muffin recipes here at cooks.com. My creepy family won't even eat food they request I make. Ugh. But these little Cuties, get them every time! I use 1 cup fresh blue berries and 1/2 cup tart dried cherries. I add 1 tsp. vanilla essence. All else the same. And they disappear... Thank you!
