As the owner is a bed-and-breakfast, I'm always looking for new great-tasting breakfast recipes. So when I discovered this blueberry muffin recipe, it immediately became a "standard" with the country breakfast I serve my guests.

1 to 2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
Dash salt
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups fresh blueberries

In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg and salt. Combine eggs, butter, buttermilk and vanilla; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Gently fold in blueberries. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until muffins test done. Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack.

Used scant 1 tsp nutmeg and scant 1 tsp cinamon. Delicious.

These are so good! I didn't care for the nutmeg flavor so I omitted it the second time I made them. Very Good!
