This recipe will give you first rate muffins in quick time. They will bake up with a thin crust on the outside and a wonderful center that is soft, fluffy and oh so good. Frozen blueberries will do perfectly, just be sure to use them straight from the freezer do not defrost. They are also lower in fat than the usual muffins, this is a welcome thing and I promise you that the taste doesn’t suffer in any way.
