This is now my "go to" muffin recipe! I have made it many times with different fruit variations and they've all been great! Apples, mandarin oranges, blueberries, pineapple, raisins, cranberries...And simple enough to commit to memory :) Now we can have muffins anytime, not just when I remember to buy a box mix at the store! The kids LOVE this :)

Amazingly simple and delicious blueberry muffins. I think it's a given that the butter is softened (room temperature). My batter was silky smooth and perfect. I added 1/2 tsp. of vanilla and it made exactly 12 heavenly muffins!

These are sooo good, and soooo easy!! I only add vanilla. You can add half the flour measurement of some healthy flour, whole wheat, etc. The coarse sugar on top is a nice addition. I love these, and so do my husband and kiddos. :-)

NOT good .... I'll be forced to make several batches! ... they won't last very long ;). I'd never made blueberry muffins from scratch before. I wouldn't change a thing. They are WONDERFUL!

Add 1/3" extra milk...otherwise you'll have a dough rather than a batter. Be careful not to break the blueberries; fold in lightly. Amazing Recipe!!!

Just wanted to add... I've made these with equal success by adding in chocolate chips instead of fruit. Until you get to the berries it's just a great basic muffin mix. Remember the extra 1/3 cup milk though. I prefer to use almond milk in making them. It adds something wonderful. :)

I love finding an old recipe that stands the test of time. With this one, it's easy to see why. The blueberries are the main feature, not just sprinkled in, like so many newer muffins. This is not overly sweet, either. I used real butter, by the way, and slightly softened it before adding the sugar. This recipe made just 10 for me. I will make many times in the future...

I needed a quick, easy recipe for muffins and this was delicious!! They were so moist and I used the mixed fruits (blueberries, raspberries and blackberries) because I didn't have enough blueberries. My kids ate them soo quickly! I am excited to try chocolate chip ones too!

Wonderful... not too sweet and light and a bit chewy at the same time. Loved that the ingredient list was so simple!!!

I made this recipe super healthy by using applesauce (no sugar added) in place of butter, Splenda sugar substitute , whole wheat flour and added slivered almonds and 2 tbsp. flax seed meal! I added an extra tbsp of applesauce and milk to the thick batter, which helped. Also baked them for 15 minutes at 350°F. They were STILL absolutely delicious! This is a great recipe that you can really make your own!

Who cares???? Why even make it if you are going to change everything??? Go find a recipe that has all those crappy ingredients!
