Oh blueberry muffins, how I love you.
You probably won’t be shocked at all to hear that when I decided to make blueberry muffins, the first thing I googled was “starbucks blueberry muffin”. I have a problem with their muffins obviously. I go searching for a copycat recipe every few months and each time I’m shocked that there isn’t one. So I’m working my way through recipes, changing things here and there to see if I can get close to my beloved Starbucks muffin.
This one was pretty close. The taste was right on but it just wasn’t as light and fluffy. I’m thinking maybe cake flour next time? We loved them though and it gets bonus points for only making 8 muffins. I halve just about every recipe I do so it was nice to not have to do any math.

Are these the “To-die-for” Blueberry Muffins from allrecipes? I love that recipe. It is the best in my opinion. I’ve never tried the muffins at Starbucks, though. What a lovely, comforting photo.

I’d love to make me some blueberry muffins but there are so many sweet things around this house right now I have to wait. I made my first truffles (S’mores truffles) today so I have to pass those out … THEN make some baked stuff.
