TO DIE FOR BLUEBERRY MUFFINS
These muffins are extra large and yummy with the sugary-cinnamon crumb topping. I usually double the recipe and fill the muffin cups just to the top edge for a wonderful extra-generously-sized deli style muffin. Add extra blueberries too, if you want!

My boss had so many raspberries that she did not know what to do with them. She found this recipe and used them instead of the blueberries. They are wonderful. You only need 1/2 of the topping for one recipe. I hope that you enjoy them!

Tips:
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries: Fresh blueberries are best, but frozen blueberries work well too. If using frozen blueberries, thaw them before adding them to the batter.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full: This will prevent the muffins from overflowing in the oven.
- Bake the muffins at a high temperature: This will help them rise quickly and develop a golden brown crust.
- Let the muffins cool completely before serving: This will help them set and make them easier to handle.
Conclusion:
These blueberry muffins are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They're made with whole wheat flour, oats, and fresh blueberries, and they're sweetened with honey instead of sugar. They're also low in fat and calories, so you can feel good about eating them.
