This is the time of year when most grocery stores have blueberries on sale. Blueberries are great on top of your breakfast cereal, but they are awesome made into these muffins. If you've been following this blog for any length of time, you know by now that I love to bake. Blueberries are packed with vitamin C, fiber, antioxidants, the list goes on and on!! I put an entire pint of blueberries into these muffins, which is about two cups. Please feel free to put in less :)
