I’ve made a lot of muffins in my life. I’ve made a lot of blueberry muffins. Perfectly portioned, sweet little cakes that can pass for breakfast food. What is not to love? These right here are the best blueberry muffins you’ll ever make, I promise!
Sometimes a muffin recipe just isn’t that great. They are dry or flat as a pancake on top. They don’t make enough or they’re flavorless. I’ve found plenty of bad muffin recipes in my day too. Thankfully this is NOT one of them.
I found the original recipe HERE and I am in love. I added extra vanilla for flavor and used sparkling sugar instead of streusel (it saves a little time without sacrificing texture or flavor) on top. They bake up moist, sugary, and high on the top every time. My kids would eat these every morning for breakfast if they could. Try them and see!
