Mom's Homemade Blueberry Muffins

Tuesday, February 2, 2021
This is my Mom's Homemade Blueberry Muffin cherished childhood memory and the best muffin recipe to date I have ever eaten.

I have eaten many blueberry muffins from just about anywhere while they may look good they didn't have the flavors that these buttery, tender muffins.

The simple pantry ingredients make the perfect basic high-topped peaked muffin and you can even add a streusel topping on them if you prefer a crumb-topped muffin.

These muffins are just the right sweetness with plum blueberries and fabulous warm slathered with a dab of melted butter any time of the day and not just for breakfast.

They're so yummy most of the time I eat them hot from the oven even without butter on them and the best part about this recipe is any kind of fruit can be added.

Muffins are so portable not to mention perfect for any time of the day, as a snack, packing for day trips, and the kids love them as a treat in their lunch box.

This is a vintage recipe mom made was a  traditional blueberry old-fashioned muffin she made every weekend in the late 1960s.

If you're a fan of muffins also try our  Apple Pie Topped Muffins which is another family favorite.
