These Blueberry Corn Muffins are bursting with bites of fresh blueberries for a delicious treat to be enjoyed with your favorite jam or butter.
There's something about these corn muffins that fill me with the joy of the new season. From their golden hue to the sweet, juicy blueberries that burst in your mouth with each bite- they're like little spots of sunshine that warm the soul.
Corn bread is a perfect example of an evergreen recipe. No holiday tablescape is really ever complete without cornbread, and in the summer, it's the perfect addition to favorites like friend chicken or grilled fish. Growing up, I remember there always being some form of corn bread at the gathering.
However, as a kid my absolute favorite was the toaster corncakes my mom would surprise me with some mornings before school. Typically she would serve them toasted with cream cheese and jam which is how I enjoy them to this day.
That sweet childhood favorite was the inspiration for today's recipe, but in muffin-form with fresh blueberries folded in.
With just a handful of ingredients and a little bit of time, these muffins are perfect to have on hand in the AM and honestly, they're just sweet enough to be a perfect evening treat as well.
