If you’re a fan of cornbread and cornbread muffins, here’s a spring-and-summery version you can enjoy, made with fresh blueberries! The blueberries give this slightly-sweet made-from-scratch cornbread a great flavor. And the corn kernels help make the muffins good and moist. There’s buttermilk mixed into the batter too, for a little extra zing. What’s not to love about these tender and tasty muffins?

I describe these muffins as a spring-and-summer version of cornbread, but they are actually great to enjoy any time of the year! Serve them for breakfast, brunch, or for a snack later in the day! They taste great on their own, but you can also spread them with butter or blueberry jam!
