Blueberry Buttermilk Muffins

Easy Blueberry muffins

My family is weird.

In a lot of ways, but the reason I bring this up is that I grew up eating blueberry muffins at dinner. I know, I know – most normal people eat muffins in the morning. But for some reason we only had them at dinner time and it was always boxed mix with those tiny canned blueberries. And we LOVED them! I continued to use the same boxed mix when my own kids were growing up and yes, serving them at dinner.

It wasn’t until I saw a cooking segment on the Today Show probably 15 years ago that I realized how easy homemade muffins were. Throw the wet ingredients in a food processor, pulse in the dry ingredients and mix in whatever suits your fancy. It seriously takes about the same time as making muffins from a boxed mix.

But

Oh

My

Goodness.

There is NO comparison. These muffins are so insanely good that it’s almost a crime they’re so easy. I have to stop myself from making them more often. Not that my husband would complain – he’d happily wolf them down every day!

This recipe is based off a recipe that Carrie Levin made on the Today show in 2006. We love blueberry muffins and I love to use buttermilk in baking. (A side note – if you haven’t discovered powdered buttermilk you are missing out. It keeps forever in your refrigerator and is perfect for baking.)
