Cook:22min

Note: Watch those blueberry steaks. The juice from frozen blueberries creates streaks in the muffin batter. You can avoid this by using fresh berries, but this is not always possible. To avoid the streaks when using frozen berries, thaw them on paper towels to absorb most of the juices. As with fresh berries, use as few strokes as possible to incorporate them into the batter.
