July has been a crazy month and one of the things that has been keeping me busy is the garden. The blueberries are having a great year and we've been enjoying them a variety of ways, pancakes, waffles, and muffins.
I found Donna B's Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins on the Taste of Home site. The only change I made was the yogurt, I had blueberry Greek yogurt on hand so that's what I used.
I reserved a tablespoon of flour called for in the recipe and tossed it with the blueberries. My grandmother taught me this trick to keep them from sinking to the bottom. It worked quite nicely.
I like to use a cookie scoop for the batter. It helps them bake consistently. I also pressed a few extra berries onto the tops of the muffins and then sprinkled them with raw sugar. We love that little bit of sparkle and crunch.
I definitely will be making another batch of these before berry season is over, they disappeared very quickly! Thanks so much to Stacy for hosting #MuffinMonday and to all the other awesome bloggers who shared recipes today, be sure to go check out what they made using the links down below!

I am so jealous of your blueberry bushes (they grow on bushes, right?) because I can't seem to grow anything that the birds don't beat me to before I can pick it. That raw sugar is gorgeous on top of your lovely muffins, Jolene!
ReplyDeleteI've got 9 high bush blueberries. There are low bush wild varieties in New England too. The birds actually haven't been an issue but we've got a few baby deer that have been snacking!
DeleteSo satisfying to pick bounty from your garden and create a delicious dish.
ReplyDeleteIt really is!
DeleteI am trying not to be too envious of your home grown blueberries! Your muffins look so tender and tasty.
ReplyDeleteMost of them are heirloom bushes that are over 50 years old, it's been a bit of work to get them dialed in, but so so worth it!
