These light and airy muffins are the perfect way to start your mornings, loaded with plump, juicy blueberries and extra vanilla goodness!
I hope you all had a great 3 day weekend. Jason and I made a short trip up north past Sacramento to take a look at one of the puppies we are going to adopt. Yes, we are expectant corgi parents! I’ve been trying to keep it under wraps but with a face like this, how could you keep it to yourself?
This little guy definitely made his way to my iPhone home screen, and every time I see his cute little face, my heart melts just a little bit. He’s only 6 weeks old right now but we’ll be able to take him home at the 9 week mark. It’s only 3 weeks away but this may just be the longest 3 weeks of my life! But before I go on and on and on about my new love for this puppy, let’s talk muffins.
I’m pretty sure you’ve all had a blueberry muffin. It’s pretty much one of those standard muffins, whether you pick one up at the grocery store, at Starbucks, or those massive Costco-ones. I’ve made several blueberry muffins myself – from a granola topping to a blueberry jam swirl.
But this one here – this may just be my favorite blueberry muffin creation yet. There’s nothing really fancy going on here except for one very special ingredient – vanilla bean paste. You can find this either at Williams-Sonoma or Amazon.com. I prefer the latter because I’m too lazy to leave the house and with Amazon Prime, everything gets to your door in 2 business days. But I digress.
Now these muffins – they’re loaded with juicy, plump blueberries in the most light and fluffy muffin just blooming with vanilla goodness. And with a sprinkling of sparkling sugar on top, you get a nice crunch every time you take a bite into these. They’re perfect for breakfast-on-the-go or even as a snack when you need to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Either way, just be prepared to have at least 3 of these muffins in a single serving – you won’t be able to stop at just one!
