Blueberry Muffins

These soft, buttery muffins are so simple and quick to make and taste just like the shop-bought ones. Ever since the first time we made these we knew they were going to be good just by tasting the batter mixture (you know if the batter tastes great the end result is great!).

We use frozen blueberries for this recipe. Use more if you like it zingy and less if you want a milder cake.
