My favorite muffins

I love to serve muffins in the morning for breakfast or tea/coffee time.
When my little ones were actually little I usually had muffins in the freezer to warm up for snacks.
Their favorites were of course banana chocolate chip.
Mine were blueberry.
About 25 years ago my friend Jane served me the most delicious Blueberry muffin I had ever eaten.
She gave me the recipe and it is still in my recipe box.
Some of my recipes have been rewritten but not this one.
It is quite worn looking and is splattered with blueberry stains.. Nevertheless I cannot part with it.
The writing is still legible and I treasure it.

Not just because the muffins taste good but also because it is a reminder of sweet times over a cup of something warm.
I guess I am sentimental.
Over the years I have experimented with different recipes but I keep coming back to this well worn card.

If you enjoy blueberry muffins this is for you.

This is a picture of my Go To muffin spoon.

Nano gave it to me when I moved into my first apartment. I was 20. It has moved to seven different homes in 35 years and it is a treasured utensil in my kitchen. I don’t know if I could make muffins without it. The very best, perfect shape for muffin tins.

  1. Those blueberry muffins look delicious, and I’m going to have to try this recipe. I do have to say, though, that the banana chocolate chip muffins are THE favourite in my household, and we usually make two batches a week to keep up with the demand! Nik loves to bake, and is almost ready to bake these on his own! Love the recipes – keep them coming!

    1. Thank you Michelle!
      You are certainly doing something right. Those little lads of yours are gardeners, worker men, musicians and to top it all off they are cooks?
      Wowee!
      XO
