This is the time of year when I buy up all plump last of the year fresh blueberries I can find and freeze them so I can use them well into the Fall and Winter, I’ll freeze in smaller single size servings to use in yogurt or cottage cheese at breakfast and larger bags for baking, these muffins are a simple recipe that yields a fluffy classic blueberry muffin that will never disappoint!

I use an oversized muffin tin for these, simply because I like a big muffin!

Here’s the step by step: in a large bowl, measure out 3 cups of flour

Three Teaspoons baking powder

1/4 Teaspoons baking soda

1/2 Teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 Teaspoon salt, mix all dry ingredients together

In a separate bowl, melt 5 Tablespoons butter

Add 1/3 cup vegetable oil

1 cup granulated sugar

2 eggs

Mix together

Add 1/3 cup sour cream

1 cup of milk

And 1 Tsp vanilla extract

Mix in the flour mixture

Then 1 1/2 cups blueberries

fold the berries in carefully

Fill lined cups almost to the top, a little more than 3/4 of the way full

Drop a few berries on top

And this puts them over the top, course crunchy sugar

Sprinkle it all over the tops

Bake at 425 degrees for 5 minutes then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees and bake for 25-30 minutes
