Instructions

For The Muffins

  • Measure 1/2 cup of milk.
  • Alternate adding half the dry ingredients and half the milk to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined, until all the ingredients are in the one big mixing bowl making a batter.
  • Toss 1 cup of the blueberries with 1 Tablespoon of flour in a bowl. Set the other 1/2 cup of blueberries aside.
  • Add the blueberries to the muffin batter and gently fold then in trying not to smash any.
  • Add 1/4 cup of muffin batter to each muffin (cupcake) cup using an ice cream scoop.
  • Distribute the rest of the reserved blueberries evenly over the top of each muffin, lightly pressing them into the batter.
  • Bake for 24-28 minutes or until a toothpick inserted to the center of a muffin come out clean.

  • Gently lift the muffins out of the pan and continue to cool them on a wire rack until completely cool.

For The Glaze
