Handy Tips
- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor, but if unavailable, frozen blueberries work well too.
- For a crunchy top, sprinkle some coarse sugar on the muffins before baking.
Ingredient Swaps
- All-purpose flour: You can use whole wheat flour for a healthier option, keeping in mind it may alter the texture slightly.
- Granulated sugar: Substitute with coconut sugar or honey for a more natural sweetness.
