Blueberry Muffins

Everyone knows that we are a muffin loving family :-) Always willing to try a new muffin recipe, and we usually bake muffins once a week.  Recently, my Mother-in-Law gave me a new cookbook to add to my collection, so I've been reading and scoping out new recipes to try.  Inside are some new muffin recipes, so of course we are giving them a try.  This time around it is Blueberry Muffins!  Here is the recipe:

Blueberry Muffins (Source: My Father's Daughter)

1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled

2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
2 cups flour
3/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups fresh blueberries

Preheat oven to 375F.  Prepare muffin tins (I prefer muffin liners).

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the butter, eggs and milk.

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, 3/4 cup of sugar, baking powder and salt.  Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stir just to combine.  Add in the blueberries.

Spoon the batter into the muffin tin.  Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with the extra teaspoon of sugar.  Bake for 23-27 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.

VERDICT:
These were a hit with my boys.  Our oldest gave some enthusiastic thumbs up to these muffins.  They reminded me of the Blueberry Buttermilk Breakfast Cake, and got me to thinking that next time I make these, I might add some lemon zest to them.  A tasty treat!
