Blueberry Muffins. An Easy recipe and great served warm with a blob of butter and a lovely cup of tea!
Blueberry Muffins! This is an incredibly easy recipe and great for breakfast and as an after school snack too!
Nanny Pat has kindly shared her Blueberry Muffin recipe with us.
Nanny tells me she has been making these for many years, the recipe is very old, and she and hubby love them! They’re not overly sweet so feel free to add extra sugar if you have a sweet tooth.
As you can see, Nanny bakes these muffins in all kinds of pans, and they always come out perfect!
Here’s a message from Nanny Pat for you!
‘We live in the Lakes Region area in N.H. and have lived in 4 towns in N.H. for 51 yrs, and we love this State in the USA. We have 5 grandchildren, from 21 to 7, and they are the “Apple” of our eyes (couldn’t resist that). We are always cooking .and when our grandchildren come to visit, there’s always plenty of treats for them to enjoy. The winters are getting challenging as we grow older though but that doesn’t stop me from cooking! Enjoy these blueberry muffins and let me know how you like them!’

I have been baking for many years and these are the best muffins I have ever made. They are moist and tender with just a touch sweetness. This will be my go to recipe for any fruit muffin I will make.
