Oh. My. God.

My partner in the bake swap was the fabulously talented Sam, who sent me some gorgeous blueberry muffins* made using Apryl’s recipe and let me tell you friends, this is a recipe to die for. I’ve never particularly been a fan of blueberries but these muffins were outstanding. So! I gave the recipe a shot.

As you can see, all of my blueberries sunk through the batter. Not necessarily a bad thing – in fact, I quite like the effect this had but it did mean I needed a fork to eat them or (as the children proved) I’d have been covered in blueberries. I picked up a handy wee tip for next time though – take a tablespoonful of the flour out before it’s added to the batter, put it in a bowl with the blueberries and coat the blueberries by giving the bowl a good stir and shake. THEN stir the blueberries into the mixture – the flour will hold them in position.

Try them – they’re amazing!

* My bake swap package arrived when Amanda and Kirsty were visiting, I left the tub in the living room and Erica, Maia & Jamie raided it! Little horrors!
