Holy cow, these muffins are AMAZING! Hands down, the best muffin recipe I have ever made in my entire life.
Because it’s October and a pint of blueberries cost $3.99, I used a package of frozen blueberries for less and double the berries. Honestly, you really would never know the difference and my wallet is happy for that!
The most interesting part to this recipe is topping the muffins with a blueberry reduction sauce. It’s brilliant and I bet this technique transfers well into other muffin recipes. Ooh, the possibilities are endless.
So while there are a lot of steps to these blueberry muffins, the payout is so worth it. Give yourself 30-40 minutes in the kitchen for this fantastic breakfast treat!
