Ask a question about this stepJust made these out at the beach with freshly-picked blueberries. So great!
you're making me nostalgic for both the muffins and the beach!
I was born and raised in Maine and have great memories of growing up there. What Mainer hasn't had blueberry pie for breakfast?
I live down under now and can only get the big berries but when you're homesick, any blueberry will do.
What beautiful smiles! and such a simple recipe, sounds great!
Thanks, Miranda. I hope you try it.
YUM! My Mom in Law makes something very similar to this...although I don't remember all the proportions. They get gobbled up immediately. Lovely photo, is that in Italy?
Yes, that's Sienna. I had a photo from Maine, but uploaded the wrong one here, and gave up - technology having won, yet again.
Don't they? I can almost hear the loons on the lake when I smell these muffins.
Thanks, Shayma - do you think we look alike? Ha!
Looks absolutely delicious! Can't wait to try them...
thanks so much. i've just located the last bag of last summer's blueberries in the freezer. these muffins are on the menu for tomorrow.
Maine wild blueberries are the best. This looks really good.
I hope you try the recipe!
Yes! With a schmeer of good butter!
Yes, they are quite tart. But I usually make these with the high bush blueberries we get here, as those wild ones are just impossible to find outside of Maine.
Aren't wild Maine blueberries kind of small, as well as tart? We spent lots of summer vacations in Rockland, back when lobster was cheap...
this sounds wonderful. I get Wyman's frozen wild Maine blueberries at Costco year-round. They're fabulous, and I think they'd work great in this recipe.
Thanks, MrsLarkin. I've seen them there, but hesitated.
I'll have to check those out next time I am at Cosco....

I plan on making them with Michigan blueberries (just got fresh from there). They look wonderful :)
