BLUEBS! Yay. I absolutely love baked goods with blueberries in them, and these are definitely up there with my favorites. Blueberries bake to this perfectly silky texture and sweet but not too sweet flavor. Love it, love it, love it. This past weekend, I made these blueberry streusel muffins which I quite frankly couldn’t stop shoving in my mouth.
Also, I know that I say in every blog post that the food is my favorite, but I just can’t help it. I tend to cook things that are my favorite!
These muffins were moist and delicious with a lemon glaze drizzled on top and blueberry beautifully baked inside. Personally, I’ve never been the person who grabs the baked good without the icing. ALWAYS the icing for me.
Let’s just say, I reached for these more than a few times.
