For a very long time (too long, in my opinion) I was a frequent buyer of boxed blueberry muffin mix. They taste good, they’re easy to make, and those tins full of tiny blueberries are irresistable.

Irresistable, that is, until I found this recipe for Texas blueberry muffins. Yup, I was cooking like a Texan before I was one!

One reason I love this recipe is because it calls for plain yogurt. The yogurt gives it a nice slightly tangy taste. The original recipe called for sour cream, but I found that when I used sour cream, they tasted kin of like corn muffins. Which is weird, but what can you do?

Whip up a batch of these muffins today, and just grab one and go all week long. They’re good with all-purpose, or whole wheat flour.

Texas Blueberry Muffins

Ingredients:

• 1 stick of butter, softened
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/4 C. sugar
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1 C. plain yogurt
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 2 C. flour
• 2 C. blueberries (fresh or frozen)

Step 1: Cream the butter and sugar together. Add the eggs and beat until smooth. Mix in the yogurt and vanilla.

Step 2: Combine all the dry ingredients and mix into the wet ingredients.

Step 3: Fold in the blueberries. Spoon into a lined or greased muffin tin.

Step 4: Bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes.

The upside to baking muffins at 5:30 in the morning: you get to eat muffins. The downside: I was too sleepy to remember to take a picture of a finished muffin. Just imagine a picture of a blueberry muffin here:
