Muffins for breakfast? Yum!
Muffins for snack? Yes, please!
Muffins for dessert? Why not?
The humble muffin is so versatile that I just keep baking them (and freezing some for later). Lately, Nashville has been experiencing weather upwards of 70 degrees F…in mid February. I can’t say I am a fan of it. I love winter weather and it already feels like late spring outside. Boo!
Whether I am a fan of the weather or not — :) —it’s got me dreaming of all the ripe, juicy berries I’ll be enjoying soon! Thus, spent time baking moist, crunch-topped blueberry muffins this weekend in anticipation for National Muffin Day on February 20. Hope you enjoy them as much as my family does.
Note: My oven bakes these beautifully, but they always seem to fall in my mom’s oven. We can’t figure out why. No worries, they may not look perfect but they will still taste delicious!
