Best Blueberry Muffins

I know, I know, I know. I know just what you're thinking. Why is Michele doing another Blueberry Muffin post when she just raved about those other Blueberry Muffins??? It's because I'm a sucker. I'm a sucker for photos of muffins bursting with blueberries, threatening to be extra moist from french vanilla yogurt! I saw this recipe here on a lovely blog written by Pam called For the Love of Cooking. Please visit her blog to see all her other wonderful recipes and step by step photos of this one.

This recipe orignated from cooking light so that should make you feel better about eating one, two or more of these! The ingredients are similar to those in my first Blueberry Muffin recipe with the addition of fresh squeezed orange juice, yogurt and even more blueberries. I bought an individual portion sized cup of french vanilla yogurt but turns out that the entire container didn't equal a cup. Lucky for me I had some low fat sour cream in the fridge and I used that to make up the difference. I don't think it affected the flavor at all, in fact, I bet you could completely switch out the yogurt for sour cream if that's all you had. It worked! These muffins were fabulous and different from the others so I felt I just had to share the recipe with you. I hope you all give this one a chanceit's from cooking light!

Easy Blueberry Muffins

I had some leftover blueberries from when I made cupcakes so when I heard my friend Joy mention that she had blueberry muffins in the oven on facebook, I knew I had to make some. I headed over to bakespace and did a search for blueberry muffins. I found one from my friend Danielle of Cooking for my Peace of Mind. I swear, I have friends that aren't from bakespace but these are my cooking buddies! I chose this recipe because it seemed easy, called for the amount of blueberries I have and I had all the ingredients. That was it, I was sold.

I experimented and sprinkled some sugar on top of some of the cupcakes before they went in the oven and I really liked the way they came out. They looked so pretty. Next time I make them, I'm going to use DD's vanilla sugar and put a nice coating on top.
