MIMI'S HUGE BLUEBERRY MUFFINS
A prominent department store used to sell these in their bakery case. These are big muffins loaded with blueberries. They are nice and sweet. All I can say about them is to try them--they are great. I like to use our Maine blueberries as there is a lot of flavor, but any wild blueberry will be fine.
