Ardyce Piehl of Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin relates, "These moist muffins are chock-full of blueberries. I keep frozen berries on hand-it's so convenient to be able to fold them frozen into the muffin batter."

Ingredients

4 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups frozen unsweetened blueberries
TOPPING:
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, milk and vanilla; mix well. Stir in dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in frozen blueberries.
Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Combine sugar and nutmeg; sprinkle over muffins. Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack.

Editor's Note

If using frozen blueberries, use without thawing to avoid discoloring the batter.

Should I use the big cups or the little ones? What about different spoon sizes? Are we still using grandma's measures?! It's the third millennium people, EVERYONE has a kitchen scale and the international measure unit is the gram. I can't make the "amazing" muffins because the given measures are very relative.

I made these gems for breakfast this morning and they were gone in a matter of minutes. I cut the recipe in half to make only 12 but I should have made the full amount. So delicious. I'll be making these again for sure.

Best, tastiest, and easiest muffin recipe I've tried in all my years of baking! Followed recipe to the letter as I always do a first time. Wouldn't change a thing, but I will be using this as a base recipe for OTHER muffins in the future. I made 12 full sized muffins and they were perfect with time listed. I used the rest of the batter and made 40 mini muffins, for gifting, which I time adjusted to 15 minutes for perfection.

delicious! I did a combination of cinnamon and nutmeg for the topping. Skim milk worked fine.

I followed the recipe, except I substituted butter milk for regular milk. I only had 1%. I was afraid it would be too thin. This recipe is awesome. The batter comes out thick. This is great. It holds the blueberries where they need to be. The muffins are moist, tender, and fluffy.

I made these muffins as is and only halved the sugar. Really, two cups of sugar is over the top. They were absolutely delicious and had gorgeous peaks. Very fluffy and tasty. I'm going to try this recipe again but instead use chocolate chips to see if this is a good "base" muffin recipe, which I suspect it will be.

I halved the recipe, exchanged 1/2 cup of wheat flour and used buttermilk instead of regular. Turned out delicious!!

I'm a volunteer field editor. I just made these as my daughter was craving a basic blueberry muffin. My usual go-to recipe has oatmeal, so this was a nice change. I followed the recipe, but halved it and swapped out the nutmeg for cinnamon. Wonderful recipe and very quick and easy to make.

I thought I did something wrong when I was mixing because they where so thick but it turns out it was supposed to be like that!
