MUFFIN time

I found a deal at Sam's Club not long ago on blueberries. They were so sweet and good all by themselves. I tried a super easy blueberry muffin recipe worth sharing.

BLUEBERRY MUFFINS
2 cups flour
2 Tbsp baking powder
1/2 cup sugar
1 stick butter, melted
1 egg, slightly beaten
3/4 cup milk
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
raw sugar for topping

Preheat oven to 350*, and spray a 12 cup muffin tin.

Combine the flour, baking powder and sugar. In another bowl combine melted butter, egg and milk and mix well. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and stir with a spatula just until combined. It's OK if there are lumps in the batter. This is a detail I have evidently kept from my daughter, she claims she didn't know that you can over stir a muffin. Well, you can...so don't. Gently fold the blueberries into the batter.

Use an ice cream scoop to fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full. Sprinkle the tops with pure cane organic sugar. I like that kind because it's course and a little brown, it looks pretty! I guess you could use regular sugar. My original recipe called for 1/2 cup for topping, but I didn't use that much.

Bake 20 min. or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick in the center of muffin comes out clean. Cool in the pan about 10 minutes before you turn them out.

These are berrylicious!
