minutesBlueberries are my favorite berry and they are so healthy. I cook with blueberries regularly and eat them pretty much everyday. My amazing grandmother lived almost 102 years and she ate blueberries religiously. I love a good blueberry muffin and these are so good because of the cornmeal and lemon zest. Plus I like to finish them off before baking with a little vanilla sugar sprinkled on top. These are a really good, easy basic blueberry muffin.
