I’ve made these at least 18 divided by 3 times in the last few weeks of being home, So I made these, and then I made them again to tweak the recipe, and then I made them again just because I could. Such is my life in the summertime. ♥ Thanks to all those unofficial late morning test batches, I finally feel like these are just how I want them. Speaking of late morning, will you send me hate mail if I tell you that I woke up at 11 am the other day? Ohhhhh my goodness. I have not slept that long since I was like, 17. It was that wonderful feeling of looking at the clock and realizing how many hours of sleep just entered my life, followed immediately by the confusing decision of whether to eat breakfast or lunch. When we were in the Philippines, I was honestly worried because I thought that maybe I had lost the ability to sleep soundly through the night. But these last few weeks have happily proven me wrong. A fluffy white comforter, a surviveable temperature, pure quiet (that’s a whisper-type), and a few blueberry muffs in my tum have made all the difference in the world for me. But the muffins. I love how the final version turned out – sweet, but not too sweet, with those juicy little blueberries baked right into the middle and not sunken into the bottom. There’s a little hint of nutty flavor and a perfectly fluffy texture even with the bits of oats and flaxmeal in there. I tried to get a picture of the little flecks of flaxmeal in there, and the buttermilk-soaked oats kind of just barely disappearing into the muffin, but it’s so subtle that you almost can’t really notice it until it’s in your mouth. And then there’s the crumbs. I honestly have a hard time imagining a muffin that I wouldn’t want crumbs on, and these are no exception. These particular crumbs were super fine and not overwhelming. You can hardly even call them crumbs, actually. Just a light little flour-butter-sugar dusting that works like some kind of muffin fairy dust. And here they are! Baked, crumbed, and glazed. I’m pretty sure this is me, too, because 5 batches later, I have become a blueberry muffin. I know I say this all the time so you’re allowed to take me with a grain of salt: I LOVED these. That’s capital L-O-V-E-D. Serious, guys. 4.4 from 36 reviews
