Mini Blueberry Muffins
For the Love of..
There are those times when all you want to do is pop a mini muffin into your mouth or pop a couple of mini muffins into your mouth but not all at the same time, unless of course you have a big mouth:) When my grandkids stayed with us a few weeks ago they wanted mini blueberry muffins…so mini blueberry muffins it was. The mini muffins are perfect for little fingers but adults like them too. I love mini muffins, Why? For some reason I just feel better about eating a ‘mini’ muffin rather than eating a huge ‘jumbo’ size muffin…even though I love them too.
