"These bite-size muffins are popular in our family," reports Suzanne Fredette of Littleton, Massachusetts. "They're especially nice for potlucks since they leave enough room on your plate to try all the other dishes."

Tip

Big Batch Baked Goods

We enjoy homemade baked goods for breakfast, but I don’t have time to bake each morning before school. So I devote 1 day a month to making large batches of cinnamon rolls, doughnuts, cream cheese rolls and muffins. I place them in heavy-duty resealable plastic bags labeled with the date. (They freeze for about 2 months.) On busy mornings, it’s a snap to pop a few in the microwave to warm. The kids love the fresh-baked flavor. —Lori T., New London, Texas

Apology in advance for the necropost, but I recently baked this twice, all with small modifications. The first time - a couple of weeks ago - I followed the recipe exactly except that I replaced the buttermilk with regular milk and we put 1 cup of sugar as opposed to 2 cups of sugar and my mom melted the butter and she literally put in the blueberries in the batter. It came up beautifully, but it wasn't as sugary as I liked, even with a sprinkling of sugar on top. In the second time (yesterday) - again I replaced the buttermilk with regular milk but, since my mom couldn't find frozen/fresh blueberries, had to buy a blueberry mix/substitute, we put cake flour and I insisted that we should put in 2 cups of sugar. It went up fine, except it was a touch too milky because the blueberry mix required more milk and the blueberries were in the bottom of the batter (although we put the mix in the bottom with the flour on top). Will bake again, yummy! By the way, if you use the bigger muffin tins, it takes about 20-30 more minutes to completely bake. Remember, when in doubt, use the toothpick test!

This recipe baked up beautifully but it made 74 mini muffins - not 47!! Hopefully, they will freeze well. Sprinkled with sugan and that made it pretty. Also, if you have a choice about the size of blueberries you use, it is best to use a smaller berry. These are small and it would be better with smaller berries.

These mini muffins were a hit with my husband and two boys. Just the right amount of blueberry goodness! These would be a perfect after shool snack. I will be making them more often.

Careful when folding in berries. My muffins turned purple
