Review: Simple Blueberry Muffins

During the Stay at Home order in my state, I recently started ordering a home delivery veggie box. This has been invaluable for me. Not only am I eating more fruits and veggies, I also look forward to the box. It’s a bit like a mini Christmas morning every two weeks.

Blueberries have been common this spring but I cannot always eat them all. So I turned to Nancy Harmon Jenkins’ Simple Blueberry Muffins recipe.

This recipe is not too sweet and incredibly easy. My first batch used blueberries that were not particularly flavorful, so the muffins were rather boring. I drizzled a little honey on them, though, and enjoyed them greatly.

I have found that substituting strawberries and some peaches (from the back of my freezer) for the blueberries created more of the flavor profile I wanted. It was a better contrast to the batter than the blueberries.

Altogether, if you want a quick recipe for some sort of fruit muffin, this very flexible one should do the trick. I am thinking I would like to try it with apples and cinnamon next.
