Good Morning, Good Blueberry Morning! I have been looking forward to today all week:) It’s the first ever Fantastic Bake Along Day! Yea!! Yea!!
This week’s recipe was Tami’s To Die for Blueberry Muffins and man, oh man was she not kidding! I mean really, just look at these beauties:)
Here is how the baking went—
I doubled the recipe because I wanted the extra large type of muffins. Go big or go home, right? As I was finished with all of the additions I felt a little worried that maybe I had forgotten some milk or eggs or something because the batter was so thick and sticky. I kept going though.
I took Tami’s advice and made sure to use only fresh blueberries, not the frozen ones. I agree, that they made all of the difference.
I scooped the sticky dough into the pans filling the cup all the way to the top. I covered the muffins with an extra amount of the super wonderful crumble mixture.
Being that I filled the cups all the way to the top, I was a little worried that they might overflow, so I placed a cookie sheet under them, just in case.
No need to worry though, they puffed up beautifully with no leakage at all:)
Because I had greased AND floured my pan, they took very little coaxing to get out of the pan in one piece
Now that’s what I’m talking about!!
My Dear hubby was waiting by the oven and promptly cut one up, slathered it in butter and started inhaling it amongst moans of delight!
I tried to grab it and say that I hadn’t had the photo shoot yet, but he said he would put his own picture of these on the blog. Here it is–lol:)
I gathered the remainders and lined up a blueberry photo photo shoot. I was going to use my china and some fresh napkins with daisies on them, but then this little rooster just called my name and said, ‘Tracy, please, oh please, let me be by those beautiful muffins… I want to be in your photo shoot!”
What could I do? I snatched him up and changed the shoot completely
What a fun morning:). These To Die for Blueberry Muffins are SWEET! You can get the recipe here on my blog, or here on Tami’s blog if you want to try it out in the future.
Here are the links to the bloggers who said they would like to participate. Please go check out how they fared in the kitchen today. I’m on my way to read about them right now:)!

I know right? The dough was so sticky! I have learned from years of cakes that flour is a bakers best friend:).

I should have mentioned in my original post to trust the thick sticky dough/batter! I was really worried about it too the first time I made them. I am not as brave as you – I use cupcake liners. There have been too many muffin disasters from sticking in the pan in my house. My batch is in the oven right now – I went with Raspberry Lemon since I just made the Blueberry next week. Tracy – I will mail the muffins to you – you take some glorious pictures of them and then mail them back to me then I will do the post!! Ok??? LOL! Oh it is starting so smell amazing in here!! 😀

Tracy – you can use frozen blueberries – just thaw them first! If you use them frozen – the batter around the berries doesn’t bake. Love your blog!
