Blueberry Muffins

This is the blueberry muffin recipe I have used for years – chosen after trying several.  With blueberry season here at last, I thought it would be a good time to share it.

I’m hearing more and more good things about the health benefits of blueberries – wonderful antioxidant qualities – 1/2 cup a day is all that is required to benefit. 

1/2 cup margarine

1 cup sugar

2 eggs

2 cups flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup milk

2 tsp sugar for topping

1 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen

Cream margarine and sugar.  Add eggs; and beat until creamy.  Whisk dry ingredients together and add to egg mixture alternately with milk.  Gently fold in blueberries.  Divide batter between 12 muffin lined cups.  Sprinkle with sugar.  Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes.
