The other day I had a special snack with friends for Christmas and I prepared these delicious blueberry muffins. It was the first time I prepared muffins and I have to say it went perfect, delicious and everybody liked them lot. So if you have a snack or a special meeting these days, do not doubt it, prepare them!
They have some calories as they contains cream and butter, so it is better not to abuse of these kind of meals and have the from time to time.
I bought dehydrated blueberry at a very affordable price, but if you prefer you can also use fresh blueberries. And I also recommend using a special tins for cupcakes/muffins because this will make them grow more rigid.
