My good friend brought these to me as a surprise. O am I glad that she did! I hadn’t made muffins in a long time, and these fit the bill...moist, a hint of sweetness and a little tart from the berries. I only added walnuts to half of the recipe to make at least a few of them hubby-friendly, but I enjoy the nuts! I might, MIGHT have eaten 3 straight out of the oven...oops:) Better take the rest to the neighbors before I munch on them all!

Yum, those sound good. Could you bring a few over to my house?
ReplyDeleteWe made these for breakfast for dinner tonight with fresh blueberries instead of raspberries. (We had picked WAY too many and had to find some creative uses for them.) Delightful! My toddler kept asking for more!
