Blueberry Muffins

Tweet

You get all sorts of berries and cherries in US and Europe unlike in India, and I never got a chance to taste any of these, there.It's interesting to note that fresh blueberries has most antioxidant activity when compared to most other fruits and vegetables.

Blueberry muffins are my daughter's favorite and I wanted to try them at home. Eventually my hubby also started liking it, who doesn't like the sugar packed store bought ones.It's a family favorite now.Hope you will also enjoy this :-)
