Wonderful tasting and oh so packed with flavor. I used 2 cups of blueberries and buttermilk in place of regular milk. Also added in almost 1 t. of cinnamon. I used canola oil in place of butter to healthy it up a bit. MMMmmmm...nothin says yummy like a fresh blue-berry muffin. DS (who doesn't live at home says)...TYSM:-) Made for HolidayTag.~

These were wonderful buttery blueberry muffins Lalaloula. The muffins were perfect, not overly sweet. I used fresh blueberries, 1 tsp vanilla, 1 tsp lemon juice and 1/2 tsp freshly ground cinnamon. I did omit the extra sugar on top, I forgot. Thanks for sharing. this tasty treat.
