🧺 A Little Muffin History
Muffins have been enjoyed for centuries, but the American-style muffin we know today became popular in the 1800s.
As baking powder became widely available, home bakers could create light, fluffy muffins without yeast, making them perfect for quick breakfasts and afternoon snacks.
Blueberries were a natural addition.
Native to North America, these little berries have long been treasured for their sweet flavor and versatility. Before long, blueberry muffins became a favorite in home kitchens, bakeries, cafés, and breakfast tables across the country.
Today, they're just as welcome at a family brunch as they are tucked into a lunchbox or enjoyed with an afternoon cup of tea.
Some recipes add cinnamon.
Some include a crumb topping.
Some insist on fresh berries, while others happily reach for frozen.
There's no wrong answer,
As long as there are plenty of blueberries.
