Amazing Muffins

 

Two posts in one day. Crazy. If you need to see 4th of July fireworks, please scroll down.

I am packing and baking for our trip to the Dells tomorrow. I wanted to make some muffins to take with us to use up some blueberries I had. I have never made real blueberry muffins. If you know me, anytime I am venturing into unknown territory I research it and read reviews.

So, that’s what I did. I researched a great blueberry muffin recipe and ran across this one called “The Best Blueberry Muffin Ever” or something like that. I wasn’t sucked in with the title. I got sucked in by the 4000 reviews this muffin had. Anytime something is reviewed that many times, you know it’s got to be outstanding. People gave this muffin 4.5/5 out of 5 over and over again. So, I had found my recipe.

Can I just tell you….these are amazing muffins. Honestly, sooooo good. I followed the recipe exactly and they came out perfect. I had to post in case some you wanted something yummy this holiday, and also so I don’t lose the recipe! :)
