JUMBO BLUEBERRY MUFFINS (OR CRANBERRY)



Jumbo Blueberry Muffins (or Cranberry) image

These hearty muffins(dense like a poundcake and rise beautifully like a bakery muffin) are great for bake sales or to freeze for later. I mix them up in my Kitchen Aid in a few minutes (dump and mix all ingredients together, adding berries once it's mixed). I use blueberries or cranberries with sugar/sliced almonds on top.
